Well Gang! It has been an honor spending the last 7years starting and leading the Coyotes along with my daughter , , , all the wonderful parents and families that made this team so special, and my wife . The contributions made by all our coaches and families can not be understated. We built a community together and I’m thrilled to be passing it to our New Head Coach Andrew Qucsai who has been coaching alongside me for several years. Not only is Andrew taking on the role of Head coach he has also taken over my duties as the President of our board (Did you know we had a board and we’re a Florida not-for-profit corporation?). Along with Coach Q (Andrew), Kellie Czarny has taken on the roll of Vice President, Omar Rubio will be Treasurer, and Kimberly Qucsai our new Secretary. This team has meant more to me than I can possibly put into words. I’ve had the honor of watching our students grow into young adults and I will cherish the friendships I’ve made while having the privilege to be called “Coach!”. I’ll still be around on the trails and continuing to Coach Private Lessons, so please say hi on the trail and feel free to reach out. I have the utmost confidence in the hands that the team is being placed in and Coyotes 2.0’s future looks bright!
Coyotes Howl!
Coyotes Growl!
Coach J.C. Mazza howling out!

Once a Coyote always a Coyote. No need to look Back. Even though we may move on, we’re always a part of the pack!

The Winter Park Coyotes is one of 21 teams participating in the National Interscholastic Cycling Association’s Florida league. Less traditional than ball sports, mountain biking as a team can build character.

We would like to take a second and say Thank You to for all the support they have given to the Coyotes! They have let us use their tents, TT racks, other equipment, and been there to help our students, familes, and coaches with their maintenance needs. Again, thanks ! We appreciate all your support over the years and we're glad you're a part of the Coyote family!
