NICA is about bikes and so much more: from racing to adventure, trail stewardship to getting more girls on bikes.
Our ProgramsThrough inclusive, team-based programs, NICA empowers youth to build strong bodies, minds, and character, while promoting a lifelong love for cycling and outdoor adventure. With a focus on fun, safety, and community, NICA’s mission is to create opportunities for all students to experience the joy and camaraderie of mountain biking, regardless of ability or background.
We believe bikes are a powerful tool to build strength, resilience, and character. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to play, find community, and grow.
Through local teams, trained coaches, and world-class events, NICA helps young people thrive both on and off the bike: building confidence, leadership, friendships, and making the world a better place.
Help NICA grow in Australia, and be a part of the movement! Find a local team, start your own, and learn how to change lives by joining NICA as a rider, coach, or volunteer.
The National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) started in Berkeley, California, USA in 2009. It has since expanded across the United States and now supports a network of over 25,000 young riders and 15,000 adult coaches. The goal? Reimagine youth sports and ensure that all kids have a place to ride, make friends, grow and challenge themselves, and lead a healthy lifestyle – all while discovering a lifelong love of cycling. We’re excited to bring this vision and NICA programs to Australia.
*PS: It’s pronounced NYE-cuh!
The mountain bike is a vehicle to teach some really valuable life lessons and character development…our goal is to create lifelong cyclists and help these kids fall in love with riding.
NICA is, in my sweet little opinion, doing a big favour to the cycling industry, youth sports, and society at large… NICA creates a space where lifelong cyclists are born, personal growth is fostered, and folks get to participate at the level that suits them. And it’s not just the student-athlete who benefits, it’s everyone involved from coaches to families. NICA connects people.
