NICA is guided by values of fun, inclusivity, equity, respect, and community. Every youth is empowered to be part of a thriving and engaged cycling community. We build strong minds, bodies, character, and communities through cycling.
Founded in 2009, the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) develops interscholastic mountain biking programs for student-athletes across the United States.
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.
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 partners, national partners, and donors like you. If the interscholastic cycling movement moves you, please consider donating and help get one more kid on a bike!
NICA began as a race organization. Over the years, NICA has expanded to be inclusive of many stories: from trail stewardship, to girls riding together, to adventure by bike, our programs showcase the depth of our community and initiatives.
The purpose of the NICA Coach Education Program is to deliver comprehensive training to NICA coaches that provides the knowledge, skills and abilities to provide quality programming to NICA student-athletes. Quality coach education is the cornerstone to developing great youth coaches who can support the mission and vision of NICA.

Meet one of our newest league directors, Christine Prescott of the Nevada South Interscholastic Cycling League! 🚴
How did you get involved with NICA/The Nevada South League?
“Before I became the NV South League Director I was only tangentially involved with NSICL. I am the President of the caliente_area_mtb, which hosts a fundraiser and provides volunteers at one of the NSICL races every year. That was the extent of my NICA experience!”
Why did you choose to step up as the league director?
“Although I`m an RN by profession, my passions revolve around trails, bikes, and connecting people within the mountain bike community. When the NV South League Director job opened up it sounded too good to be true! I`m so excited about the opportunity to grow our community by getting more kids (and their grownups!) on bikes in Southern Nevada.”
