At the Nevada North Cycling League, coaches are the backbone of our mission to foster youth development through mountain biking. We are committed to providing a supportive environment where student-athletes can thrive both on and off the trails.

As a coach, you’ll play a pivotal role in guiding and mentoring young cyclists. Your responsibilities will include planning and leading practices, ensuring the safety of all participants, and promoting a positive team culture. Coaches are expected to be role models, demonstrating sportsmanship, dedication, and enthusiasm.

How do I become a NICA Coach?

NO PRIOR COACHING EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY

The Nevada North Interscholastic Cycling League will provide all the NICA risk management and best practice training you’ll need to jump right in and start coaching a team. Seminars called Leaders’ Summits and Ride Leader Training are held throughout the year, including online webinars and annual retreats.

Get Started

“Coaching a NICA team is one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. I knew my child would enjoy being on the team, but I didn’t expect that I would also get so much out of the league.”
