More kids on bikes = changing the world for the better.

We know that bikes are a powerful tool: NICA helps youth develop strength, resilience, and character, while pedaling with a supportive and inclusive community.

What does the TX NICA season look like?

Off-season

May-October

This is a great time to carry the momentum from the season into recruiting. It is also a good time for coaches and students to let their bodies and minds reset.

Some of the more serious athletes continue racing TMBRA and other events in the off-season on their own.

Other students take on other sports that help balance out the body and help prevent burnout and overtraining.

Pre-season

October-January

Starting in October you will see NICA activities start popping up – These often start with team recruitment, fundraising and team kick-off meetings.

Coaches begin registering riders in Pit Zone and collecting size information for t-shirts, jerseys, etc.

Team practices can begin November 1.

Race-season

January-May

Practices should be in full-swing a few times a week and the racing season begins!

Race weekends are family-friendly and often younger siblings and grandparents even come along!


Season Schedule

Our league has expanded into North and South Conferences to support our growing community of student-athletes across Texas.

We’ll start the season together at a shared Season Opener, then continue with simultaneous race weekends at different venues for each conference.

At the end of the season, both conferences come back together for a statewide celebration at our State Championships

South Conference

Trek’s Texas Off-Road Series.

Trek’s Texas Off-Road Series (TORS) is back again this fall for a dirt-slingin’, mettle-testin’ good time! The series kicks-off September 21, 2025. TORS is an awesome place to make the life-changing leap into racing for the whole family with free MTB races for beginners, women’s-only racing categories, and discounted youth pricing.
