How Can You Help – Baltimore Youth Cycling

Baltimore Youth Cycling is a 100% run volunteer organization committed to promoting youth cycling in Maryland. We are in constant need of coach volunteers, parent volunteers, ride leaders, community partners, sponsors, and donations . . . to name a few.

To join the team as a volunteer with BYC, please click here: https://bycycling.squadfusion.com/reg/olOYpyCe and our volunteer coordinator will be in touch with next steps.

In order to protect the kids on the team, all volunteers who will have any contact with our minor athletes are required to complete SafeSport training. Coaches will also need to undergo a background check before participating in any BYC activities. If you have any questions on polices for coaches or volunteers please contact Mike Marinaro our president or Mita Vogel our vice president.

Our Mission

Baltimore Youth Cycling (BYC) is a volunteer run, non-profit organization formed in 2015 dedicated to developing junior cyclists into confident young athletes. Our coaches and volunteers work with cyclists ages 8-18, in structured cyclocross and road practice settings. We coach our cyclists to ride safely and skillfully as athletes committed to their sport, their teammates, and their community. BYC racers compete locally, regionally, and nationally in organized cyclocross and road events.

As a member club of the USA Cycling national governing body, we believe and support their policy that all “Members shall have an equal opportunity to participate in bicycle racing without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, or national origin.”
