Participating in the Washington Student League (WSL) is a unique and exclusive opportunity. Similar to other interscholastic and private youth sport league program standards, only registered and official WSL teams are able to participate in the Spring League and races. Likewise, WSL teams and student riders cannot participate in non-WSL races and events representing their associated WSL team.
The WSL is not a WIAA recognized or sanctioned interscholastic sport. For this reason, your WSL “team” is often referred to by schools and school districts as a “club”. The term “team” and “club” are often used interchangeably.
Team/Club: a cohesive unit of student riders working towards a common shared objective. A team/club:
- operates under the leadership of the same dedicated coaches and volunteers,
- holds practice on a regular basis and riders on the team attend practices on a regular basis;
- encourages team spirit where riders are supportive of one another.
