West Virginia Interscholastic Cycling League
We are a chapter of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) – a California-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. As one of 21 leagues across the country, we organize a mountain bike racing league for middle and high school student athletes. Above all, we consider ourselves a youth development organization, whose goal it is to build strong body, strong mind and strong character in our student athletes, with an unwavering focus on inclusivity and equality in everything we do.
More Than A Sport
Why NICA?
I love the feeling you get when you cross the finish line, knowing you gave it your all.
You're out there with your buddies... it's not really a rivalry with anyone - like you would [find] in other sports.
I love the atmosphere it brings and being with all the other riders on the team.
It's fun and makes me happy.
It teaches me not to give up.- I love the feeling you get when you cross the finish line, knowing you gave it your all.
