The mountain bike team will host an instructional ride for students in Grades 5-12 to learn the foundational skills. Students without prior experience are encouraged to attend to develop the skills to ride safely and confidently over the summer and when the season starts in August. These rides will take place at the Percy Warner Park Trailhead on Saturday, May 16, from 8:30-10:00 a.m.

An email with details will be sent to existing riders. Please invite friends and family interested in supporting Ensworth Mountain Biking. To be added to our mailing list, please email mageed@ensworth.com.

Student & adult riders who want to ride more consistently with the team will need to complete NICA waivers. If you are interested, please let me know, and I will invite you to the NICAPitzone to complete the process. Information regarding summer rides, training plans, and the fall NICA race series will be posted in May. We hope to see you on the trails!  

Summer Base Training Plan: Riders should train over the summer to comfortably ride 90 minutes on single-track trails at a moderate pace by early August. This preparation will help build confidence for training toward their first race on Sunday, August 30.

Team Training: Team training rides will begin the first week of August on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 4:00-5:45 p.m. We will meet at the Golf Course parking lot in Percy Warner Park (1221 Forest Park Dr., Nashville, 37205). 

Fall Race Series: The 14th annual Tennessee Interscholastic Cycling League Race Series will commence on August 30, 2026. For the full schedule of races for riders in grades 6-12, please check the Tennessee NICA Website.

Teams will be divided into Varsity and JV. If the number of people trying out exceeds roster space, cuts will be made.

Boys’ Tryouts
Monday, August 10 - Wednesday, August 12 - 3:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
The latest time we could finish is 5:30 pm, but some may be done earlier

Girls’ Tryouts
Monday, August 10 - Wednesday, August 12 - 3:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
The latest time we could finish is 5:30 pm, but some may be done earlier

Last/Alternate Dates for Tryouts
Friday, August 14 or Monday, August 17  from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Kindly note that if you do not attend the previous tryouts, you will not have the opportunity to compete against most students who tried out during the earlier tryout dates. 

Important Details
Players must attend the first day of tryouts (August 10) to be considered for both Varsity and JV. Not all players will be required to attend every day of tryouts, just the players we call back. It will depend on their performance each day. Some players may need one day, two days, or all three days.

We encourage players to be match-ready, with a basic understanding of how to keep score and maintain a rally. Many of our Varsity and JV players have experience competing in USTA/UTR tournaments, whether at Ensworth or other venues, and actively participate in clinics and year-round tennis play.

The coaching staff will determine the number of players selected for each roster. 

• Varsity teams will practice Monday-Thursday, 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. 
• JV teams will practice on Monday/Wednesday from 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
• Once the academic year begins, transportation will be provided from Red Gables to the Tennis Center at Frist Campus.
• For safety reasons, parents are expected to park and come inside to pick students up from the Tennis Center at 5:00 p.m. 
• Please note that there will be no returning bus to the Red Gables campus after practice.

If your child is still working on consistency with rallying and typically isn’t able to sustain rallies of more than 5-10 balls, these teams might not be the best fit at this time. Similarly, if your child has only recently started taking lessons, it might be helpful to consider whether these teams align with their current level of play. For developmental opportunities, visit our website to learn more about our junior programs and lessons.

Football Cheer Coach- Ellen Ives, ivese@ensworth.com
Basketball Cheer Coach- Bethany Humphrey, humphreyb@ensworth.com

Football cheer will build school spirit, practice teamwork, and build confidence. Cheerleaders energize the crowd, support their peers, and develop skills by learning chants, short routines, and some introductory stunting. It’s a fun, athletic way to foster friendships and school pride to start the year. An additional season of cheer will take place in the winter for basketball. These are two separate teams, and participation in one does not mean participation in both. 

Football Cheer Practice and Schedule Information:

• The first official Football Cheer practice will be Tuesday, July 28 from 3:00 p.m.- 4:30 p.m. 
• The team will practice every Tuesday and Wednesday throughout the Early Fall Season from 3:00- 4:30 p.m.  
• The team will cheer at all home, Varsity, Middle School games and post-season championships, expected to be on Thursday evenings. 

There will be no cuts from this team, and those who choose to participate must attend all practices and games unless excused by the coach.  Cheerleaders are required to attend summer clinics and practices if they are in town. The first game will be on Thursday, August 13.
