Find a Team
The NICA team experience is one of the most important and enjoyable benefits of membership.
Teammates build camaraderie, learn from each other and become life-long friends. The Texas league has teams across the state and is growing rapidly. Join an existing team today or let us help you start a new one in your area – it’s easy to do!
If there is not a team in your area, or you are unsure which team you are eligible to join, please contact the league director at info@texasmtb.org. We will be happy to get you connected with a team, give you information to start a team or set your athlete up to join the League as an independent rider.
Registration deadlines vary among teams. League athlete registration begins October 1, 2024

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!
