Who We Are
Founded in 2009, the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) develops interscholastic mountain biking programs for student-athletes across the United States.
Coach With NICA
NICA coaches are role models and teachers who are open to learning the best practices of youth mountain bike coaching and actively work to hone their leadership skills on and off the bike.
Our Leagues
Leagues fulfill NICA's mission, improving the lives of teens and positively impacting communities by providing a high-quality, safe and fun interscholastic mountain bike program.
NICA exists because of the generous support of our founding sponsors, national sponsors and our donors. If the interscholastic cycling movement moves you, please consider donating and help get one more kid on a bike!

Shared Mission: Kids on Bikes and More Close to Home Trails🌟
In an inspiring conversation between Amanda Carey, NICA President, and Kent McNeill, IMBA CEO, the importance of getting more kids on bikes and closer to home trails shines bright. 🏞️
🔹 Why is it crucial to have more kids on bikes? Biking equals freedom and early exposure to health, wellness, and community. NICA creates bonds and confidence in young riders.
🔹 What are the barriers, and how do we overcome them? Safe and easy trail access is key. When kids can ride to their rides, NICA participation soars. Removing transportation obstacles is the game-changer.
🔹 How can the bike industry help? Supporting NICA isn`t just about equipment; it`s about trail access too. Industry grants for trail development are essential. Together, let`s build a brighter future for youth riders! 🚴♀️
