The <html:options> tag will do it for you. ;)
<html-el:select property="team">
<html-el:options collection="teams"/>
</html-el:select>
Put an ArrayList of the teams in request (or session or application)
scope, and it will magically populate your drop-down. I think. Mine
are Maps, but I think it works the same with Lists.
I am using Struts-EL and JSTL, but since there are no ${expressions} you
can just get rid of the "-el" on each of the tags and it will still
work.

On index.jsp, put a link to displayTeam.do which will be an action
(DisplayTeamAction?) that retrieves the teams and places an ArrayList in
request scope. Then it forwards to teams.jsp. (If the teams don't
change often, you can do this once when the application starts up.)
Now, how are you currently getting from teams.jsp to the page that
displays the riders? My preferred approach involves
LookupDispatchAction, and I think that's going to add to your
frustration level. :/
If you have not already, it's a good idea to spend enough time with the
struts-example webapp that you completely understand it. Running it in
a debugger (JSwat) is an incredibly enlightening experience.
Given that you've learned all this stuff in three weeks, you're doing
great!
