Texas Interscholastic Mountain Bike League
Get to Know the Texas Interscholastic Mountain Bike League
The Texas League is a project league of NICA, the National Interscholastic Cycling Association. We provide a safe and positive experience for Texas teens and their families. Our philosophy is that nobody rides the bench, camaraderie takes the lead, and families are all welcome. With Texas NICA, middle and high school youth are building strong bodies, minds, and character through the lifelong sport of mountain biking.

NICA Adventure programming helps students discover the joy of biking and outdoor adventures. We use games and experiential education to help students challenge themselves at their own pace and develop a lifelong love of cycling.
