South Side XC Devo is accepting new athlete applications through September 30 for our 2027 season.
SSXC Devo is a youth and U23 mountain bike development program built for athletes who want to become stronger racers, more complete cyclists, and better teammates. Our goal is not simply to add more races to a calendar — it is to help each athlete build the skills, fitness, experience, confidence, and race knowledge needed to keep progressing.
For 2027, athletes will have access to Development, Regional, National Development, and Collegiate/Alumni pathways, allowing us to match the program to the rider’s current level and goals.
Athletes can expect:
Individualized coaching and development pathways
MTB skills development and team practices
More intentional racing experience
XCO, XCC and endurance MTB opportunities
Selected gravel, road and cyclocross opportunities to support development
Race-day coaching, team support and travel opportunities
Athlete education including nutrition, fueling, mental performance and race preparation
A team environment that values individual goals while creating opportunities to train, travel and race together
You do not have to already be a nationally competitive racer to apply. We are looking for athletes who are coachable, motivated, willing to learn, and excited about being part of a team.
Applications close September 30.

We are deeply sadden by the tragic loss experience by the Milligan University cycling team and grieve alongside our teammate, Cade and his collegiate teammates, the families and loved ones of Haylan Engdahl and Brayden Rogers, and the entire Milligan community. We are also holding the seven other injured athletes and their families close in our thoughts and prayers, and praying for their healing and recovery.
In moments when words feel inadequate, we stand together in compassion, prayer and support.

We are profoundly shocked and saddened to share that members of our cycling team were in an accident involving a vehicle this morning while cycling in Hampton, TN. Sophomores Haylan Engdahl and Brayden Rogers were killed in this accident. Multiple other Milligan cyclists were also seriously injured and are currently receiving treatment at the Johnson City Medical Center. There are no words to adequately describe this level of loss. Our prayers are with all those impacted by this tragedy. Please keep the Milligan community in your prayers.
