During the season, which runs from March through June, practices are held Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays. During practices we focus on fitness, mountain bike skills, team building and fun!
While most of our practices are hosted by Hale Education in Westwood, we also regularly practice at other local trails. A full schedule is published at the beginning of each season and is made available through Team Snap.
Each spring New England Youth Cycling (NEYC) hosts a series of six races located a different venues around the region, generally within 90 minutes from Boston. All races are comprised of a 4 mile cross-country mountain bike course with riders completing a specified number of laps based on age.
While we encourage all student-athletes to participate in at least one race during the season, racing is not required to be a Dover Demon.
At the start of each season we host an information session for any one interested in joining the Dover Demons or learning more about NEYC.
At the beginning of each season the Dover Demons host a mandatory, pre-season bike check with support from Steve The Bike Guy in Medfield.
Throughout the season members of our team are recognized for upholding the values of the team and the League including friendship, hard work, perseverance and kindness to others, receiving not only our congratulations and thanks, but also a gift card from our sponsor, Steve the Bike Guy.
