What We Value
We're More Than Just a Race Team
We care about results, but who our athletes become while pursuing those results matters even more.
01
Dream Big
Don't be afraid to set goals that challenge you. It's then that we find what we're truly capable of.
02
Respect
Treat teammates, coaches, competitors, volunteers, families, and sponsors well.
02
Ownership
Take responsibility for preparation, effort, attitude, mistakes, and improvement.
02
Enjoyment
Work hard and pursue big goals without losing your love for riding and your teammates.
We are not simply looking for the fastest athletes. We are looking for athletes who want to improve, are coachable, support their teammates, take ownership, work hard, and make SOHO better because they are part of it.
Family Commitment
Parents Are Part of the Team Too
SOHO could not provide the camps, travel, races, and athlete experiences we provide without parent support.
Each athlete's family is expected to help at a minimum of two races and/or camps during the season.
Driving athletes
Grocery shopping + meal preparation
Camp chaperoning Ride leading
Ride leading
Loading/unloading + general support
At Camps
Parent volunteering + chaperoning
Driving athletes / rental vehicles
Airport pickup
Groceries + meals
Race feeds, bottles, coolers, tents + logistics
At Races
At larger Pro Cup, National, and international races, one or two parents may be asked to travel with the team and assist the coaching staff. When athletes, coaches, and parents all contribute, we create a better experience for everyone.
