About the Missouri League

Who we are:

The Missouri Interscholastic Cycling League was founded in 2018 as a non-profit (501(c)3) Project League of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA).

What we do:

We facilitate the development of high school and middle school teams/clubs for grades 6-12 and provide the education, training, licensing, and insurance for coaches and volunteers. We also produce high-quality mountain bike events and races that emphasize the value of participation, camaraderie, positive sporting behavior, and well-being over competition.

Our goal is to provide a welcoming environment for students to experience the sport of mountain biking and be part of a thriving and engaged community. We strive to make the program accessible to as many kids as possible and to provide the best possible experience for our community! #MOkidsonbikes
