Participation Fees FAQs
View frequently asked questions about Nevada North Cycling League participation fees.
The “Early Bird” cost for the NNICL Season Pass is $355 per athlete if paid by June 2, 2025. After June 2, the cost increases to $370 per athlete.
Your single, flat fee covers NICA national registration, NNICL league registration, insurance coverage for team practices and NNICL events, all race event weekends, race-plates and timing at races, GRiT events, Teen Trail Corps activities, new clinics and more. Individual teams may also have a separate team registration fee.
No. Special Nevada North League summer camps (GRiT, bike packing, etc.) are not included in the Season Pass and will continue to require separate registration fees. However, with the newer fee structure we will be able to continue developing and offering a wider variety of summer camps to Nevada North student-athletes!
Yes, the Season Pass covers all Nevada North events outside of racing. It does not cover camps.
Yes, the NICA fee ($55) is included in the flat-fee NNICL Season Pass price. NICA also administers a $5 technology fee that goes straight through to NICA.
No, team fees are separate from your NNICL/NICA registration and are set at the discretion of your local team. Team fees typically cover administrative costs for the team, team gear, team kit (uniform), etc. Your team will communicate its costs to you directly.
Yes. Local teams operate under the jurisdiction of NICA and the Nevada North League and get their insurance, etc., from being part of the local and national organization. Athletes on local teams must be fully current with all state and national league registrations in order to participate. This is all done in the Pit Zone.
Yes. Many local teams offer pre-season “Try it” events for prospective athletes and parents. Also, at the local team’s discretion, athletes may also be able to participate in one actual team practice. Either option requires a parent or guardian to sign an insurance waiver. Due to the requirements of our national insurance plan, this waiver can only be used on one occasion unless there is a multi-day “try-it-out” event, which may be used for up three (3) days. To continue after that, the student must have her/his national registration current. The waiver may be signed electronically here.
We realize that mountain biking is a new sport for many, and parents may be concerned that their child may not stick with it. The Nevada North Interscholastic Cycling League strives to put on world class events and provide all of our student athletes, coaches and volunteers with the best resources possible at practices throughout the season. With this goal in mind, we make a financial investment to cover insurance, training, and planning activities. Those expenses are continuously incurred. In order to maintain the sustainability of the Nevada League, it is necessary we implement a NO REFUND policy.
The Nevada North League fee may be partially refundable for season-ending injuries that prohibit them from participating in practices and races. A doctor’s note must be provided. There is a minimum $150 non-refundable fee to cover NICA fees, insurance, and registration. Refunds cannot be made after the second race. Our advisory team will review the case and make a determination.
We are aware of the financial burden which youth sports can have on a family and do not want finances to be a barrier to joining our community. Most local teams offer scholarships and you should check with your Team Director first. If they do not have any available, the league has a scholarship fund and we will continue offering scholarships thanks to our amazing sponsors and individual donors. Our scholarship process is simple and confidential. You can apply here.
