Licensed Coaches:
At NICA, we realize that volunteers who enter our Coach Licensing Program are making both a significant financial and time commitment. In appreciation for all that you do, and thanks to the generosity of NICA sponsors, we are able to offer the following benefits to coaches who successfully complete the NICA Coach Licensing Program.
NICA and our sponsors wish to thank you, coaches, for your commitment to interscholastic mountain bike programs. Every NICA program relies on the support, enthusiasm, and energy of the coaches and interscholastic cycling would not be thriving without your commitment.
For coaches interested in more detailed descriptions of the listed coach benefits, please login to your Moodle Account for more information.

NICA events are family events, and you should count your local Trek retailer as a grateful member of your NICA family. Your Trek retailer is where you'll find local bike experts who can answer technical questions, give you guidance about trails, and talk endlessly about the best new Trek and Bontrager gear for NICA. Plus, your local Trek retailer can be a free meeting space for clinics, practice planning, and more. If you're a NICA Coach or Student-Athlete, you can also take advantage of a generous discount on Trek bikes and Bontrager gear.

Message from Pivot
Dear NICA Coaches and Athletes –
As most of you are aware, the bike industry has taken a hard hit in the last 18 months due to the increased popularity of cycling during the Stay at Home orders.
Because of industry wide Covid related supply chain shortages, Pivot is suspending its NICA discount until we can get caught up with our current orders.
Pivot will reassess the situation in spring 2022 and let you know when we know more.
Train Hard and Keep the Rubber Side Down, Lisa
