TRAINING & RESOURCES

The League recognizes coaches as the most essential component of successful mountain bike teams and we have many resources that can help you organize your team.

The purpose of coach training is to ensure that those working with NICA student-athletes are sufficiently knowledgeable to be a positive influence and uphold the NICA mission, vision, and values. NICA license certification also aids in protecting volunteers and riders with insurance and protecting our youth with background checks.

Obtaining a NICA license includes benefits beyond the knowledge that comes with the training and insurance program. Thanks to NICA’s generous sponsors, licensed volunteers enjoy a number of discounts and other perks. These benefits vary by license level and League.
