Competition

NCICL racing is an inclusive format for youth, offering participants of all skill levels the opportunity to experience and learn discipline, perseverance, sportsmanship and accomplishment.

Racing in the team environment helps student-athletes learn empathy, humility, flexibility, and resiliency. Student-athletes learn that it takes a village to build a successful racer, as well as to put on a race.

Racing is one of the league's programs designed to help build a strong mind, body, and character in student athletes.

“…every time I attend a race I am struck by its positive effect on kids’ lives, many who have just discovered this healthy sport though NICA’s programs.”

– Cycling legend Ned Overend

Volunteers Make It Work

NICA is a volunteer built and supported organization. PICL has grown significantly from its early roots, but there is no doubt that coaches, race and adventure weekend volunteers, and event and league staff volunteers are vital to every piece of the experience.
