About the Wisconsin League

The Wisconsin Interscholastic Cycling League is all about creating an exciting, welcoming, and positive cycling experience for middle and high school students of every skill level. Whether you’re new to riding or a seasoned mountain biker, there’s a place for YOU here!

We’re built on NICA’s core values of Fun, Inclusivity, Equity, Respect, and Community — because mountain biking is more than a sport — it’s an adventure that brings people together to become their best selves through new and rewarding experiences.

Wisconsin League Vision:

Empowering youth to create bright futures and strong communities through mountain biking.

Find Your Fun

Each season is packed with incredible programs for everyone:

  • Team Practices: The foundation of the NICA experience with local practices with local friends at local parks and trails.

  • Adventure: Applying the principles of adventure and experiential education, NICA Adventure is a crucial component in providing resources to meet the social and emotional needs of all the student-athletes in our leagues. Adventure helps our student-athletes build relationships and interpersonal skills that will serve them beyond their time with NICA.

  • GRiT (Girls Riding Together): Empowering female student-athletes and coaches to make their mark, on or off the bike.

  • Teen Trail Corps: As mountain bikers, the trails are our playground. TTC program provides opportunities to get involved in trail maintenance efforts and advocacy for increased trail access.

  • Festival Season: Our epic September and October Festivals bring teams together to race, camp, and celebrate the best parts of mountain biking at world-class venues around Wisconsin.


Coaches Who Care

NICA’s comprehensive coach education program provides new and existing coaches with the high-quality training and resources they need to be confident, competent, and empowered leaders on their youth mountain bike teams.

NICA coaches not only create amazing experiences for student-athletes, they create a foundation for building healthy mountain bike communities. NICA coaches change lives!

Better Together

Established in 2014 as an affiliate League and in 2022 a Chapter League of NICA, the WI League has grown into a thriving community with over 100 teams and nearly 2,000 student-athletes from Wisconsin and beyond, including the UP of Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois.
