Acella Construction Corporation, a leader in construction management and now celebrating its 15th year in operation, recently announced its ongoing partnership with the Wompatuck Warriors Youth Mountain Biking Group. Dave Dirubbo, president of Acella Construction Corporation, has been involved since the inception of the Wompatuck Warriors in March 2017; he just completed his second year serving as an assistant coach of the group. Additionally, Acella Construction Corporation sponsors the group and provides a trailer to transport race-day supplies, bikes, and spare equipment for the team’s events, as well as provides additional supplies and equipment as needed.
The Wompatuck Warriors has a total of 36 kids, ranging in age from 7 th to 12th grade and from towns ranging from Plymouth to Quincy, with a concentration of children from Norwell and Hingham. They meet three times a week until the six-week racing season, during which the team competes every Saturday around New England.
Groups are divided based on ability levels, and the team practices several components of the sport, on and off the bikes, including skills and drills, time trials, group rides, hill repeats, maintenance, tire changes, mounting and dismounting during races, and obstacle skills.
Wompatuck State Park in Hingham, MA, is the team’s home course. The group also travels to other parks during racing season as well as Kingdom Trails in Vermont over the summer.
Passionate about both mountain biking and giving back to the community, Dirubbo jumped at the opportunity to mentor young children in a sport that has played an important role in his life.
“As assistant coach I have loved watching the kids progress throughout this season and last,” said Dirubbo. “Plus, being involved forces me to get out for a ride!”
