Let’s Build Something Together.

Partner with Texas NICA and invest in the next generation of riders.

What Is TX NICA?

Texas NICA is part of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association and runs the Texas Interscholastic Mountain Bike League for students in grades 5–12. Through team-based cycling, trail stewardship, adventure rides, and optional racing, we help young riders build confidence, resilience, and community. Every student is welcome — regardless of experience or ability.

A thriving cycling community

Supporting Texas NICA isn’t just a donation—it’s an investment in youth development, community well-being, and the future of outdoor recreation across the state.

It’s not just students we’re engaging—78% of NICA coaches are parents, and for every student-athlete who joins, an estimated 2.5 additional family or community members become involved. That means your brand can make a lasting impact across multiple generations.

Whether you’re supporting a race, helping us fund physical literacy programs, or underwriting access for a new team, your partnership helps build stronger communities from the ground up.

Creating engaged communities

There are three things that keep people engaged in cycling: a community of peers and friends, organized programming to provide opportunities for riding, and equipment that keeps up with their progression.

Texas NICA provides the first two—community and programming. But it’s mission-aligned partners like you who help make the full experience possible. Your support helps fuel a movement that empowers youth, families, and volunteers to get outdoors, build resilience, and develop lifelong healthy habits.

Whether you’re supporting a race, helping us fund physical literacy programs, or underwriting access for a new team, your partnership helps build stronger communities from the ground up.

Almost 50% of adolescents have experienced a mental health disorder, and more than half don’t get the recommended amount of physical activity.

Participating in outdoor activities, such as mountain biking, has been shown to improve all aspects of youth health—physical, mental, and social. 90% of NICA parents report that their children’s health and well-being have improved.

Sponsor our Leader Summit

Every spring, TX NICA brings together hundreds of volunteer coaches, team leaders, and league staff for the Leader Summit — a full-day training event focused on safety certifications, coaching development, and building the community that powers youth mountain biking across Texas. The Summit equips the adults who show up every week for kids statewide, ensuring every ride is safe, inclusive, and transformative.

Sponsoring the Leader Summit puts your brand in front of the most engaged and passionate adults in Texas youth cycling — the coaches and leaders who influence families, schools, and communities year-round.
