League Leadership

Our Staff is a group of mountain biking and outdoor enthusiasts who believe in helping to positively shape future generations through bikes.
We strive to exemplify NICA’s mission, vision, and values while instilling these qualities in the coaches, volunteers, and student-athletes who participate in the League.

We work diligently to provide all students across NC with opportunities to participate in competitive and adventure bike activities, as well as trail stewardship.

Our hope is that NC’s youth will fall in love with mountain biking and the outdoors and carry this simple yet powerful tool, a bike, with them throughout their life.

 

Brian Russell – League Director

I started my NICA journey in 2018 by helping build and lead a team in Maryland during their inaugural season. When the Marine Corps transferred my family to North Carolina in 2020, this league and the team we joined provided an incredible sense of stability for us through that transition in what was a really crazy year (COVID) for all of us. Having worked as a coach supporter across both leagues, and coached other sports for my kids, I know I can say without a doubt that NICA is the best youth sports organization in existence. The sport of mountain biking is an incredible platform to develop character and resilience in the young women and men we are so fortunate to support. I’ve seen the sport transform my own kids’ lives and the lives of so many kids across two states now. That’s why I am so excited to be a part of this team.

Chelle Frost – Programs Director

I became involved with the league as the mom of two student athletes in 2016. As Programs Director, I enjoy helping each student athlete and coach in our league find what they love most about mountain biking, and empowering them to share that passion with others. I am passionate about creating a league that leaves all student athletes and coaches feeling supported, empowered and valued, while being challenged to grow in a way that is fulfilling for them. My hope is to help create community and opportunities that equip every student athlete with the self confidence, mindfulness, determination and resiliency to face any challenges they find on whatever trails life takes them down.
