Delaware Mission, Vision, Values
The Delaware Interscholastic Mountain Biking League is a project of The National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) – 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. As one of many leagues across the country, we create, manage, and organize a variety of mountain biking programs and events to get #MoreKidsOnBikes!
Above all, we consider ourselves a youth development organization, whose goal is to build a strong body, strong mind, and strong character in our student-athletes, with an unwavering focus on inclusivity and equity in everything we do. Join us!
NICA exists because of the generous support of our founding sponsors, national sponsors and our donors. If the interscholastic cycling movement moves you, please consider donating and help get one more kid on a bike!
So many feels….Our first annual coaches summit is in the books! Thank you to our returning coaches from the @delawaredirtdestroyers and also to all of our brand new coaches. New teams are now forming with the knowledge and training gained from the summit to help in our mission of getting More Kids On Bikes!
Saturday was filled with classes that taught NICA's mission, core values and risk management along with team building exercises. Sunday was spent learning on the bike skills and games and implementing all that we learned on Saturday.
Special thanks to a few wonderful humans that were instrumental in helping make this weekend special. We were fortunate to have @m.is.for.midwest and @mikefrankgarry on loan from our extended family @nationalmtb via @wisconsinmtb. Em and Mike lead our in-classroom presentations along with our OTB training on Sunday. Thank you for all your hard work, support and sharing your knowledge. Your positive energy was infectious!
Also a big thanks to Mark Williams on loan from @marylandmtb to assist us with our OTB training on Sunday. Mark helped Em and Mike with instructing our coaches and earned his Coach Supporter Certification in the process. Congrats 🥳 Mark!

March is Women’s History Month and we honor the trailblazing women who came before us. It has been a historic decade for American women in cycling, and the NICA community has rallied around the mantra: More Girls on Bikes!

What some cool swag? Of course you do. Signing up for our coaches summit is the only way to get it! T-shirts will be for sale at the summit and if you attend both days you get a free fender! Your bike hates you but it will hate you less with the fender on it. Plus it will keep the dirt off of your new t-shirt. Registration link is in our bio. #MoreKidsOnBikes #MoreCoachesInTutus @steadfastfenders
If you have a passion for getting more kids on bikes and want to build strong minds, bodies and communities through cycling, join us for our inaugural Leaders Summit.
The Summit is for anyone who wants to lead or be involved with starting and managing a NICA youth mountain biking club/team in Delaware. Registration and more info in our Bio. #MoreKidsOnBikes @delawaredirtdestroyers @nationalmtb 📸@aaronputtcamphotography
Our inaugural coaches summit is fast approaching on March 11-12th. Meanwhile, mountain bikers continue to manage the freeze/thaw conditions of late February. The struggle is real! Why not keep that dirt and mud away from you and your bike with a rad custom Delaware Fender? Coaches who sign up and complete both days of our summit will receive one of these for free!
We have to thank our good pals at @steadfastfenders who designed and produced these and for their continued support of @nationalmtb and our mission of Getting More Kids On Bikes!
