Team Framework & Expectations

Team Framework and Expectations

Before registering for the team, agree to our team framework and expectations.

TEAM FRAMEWORK
The NICA Vision is where every American youth has the opportunity to build a strong body, mind, and character through interscholastic cycling. NICA was developed to provide a competitive cycling program for student-athletes.
The Skyridge Mountain Bike Team was created to train and support students at Skyridge High School to be a part of a team where everyone participates and competes. We are not a recreational team. Everyone practices and everyone races.
Our team is inclusive and anyone who agrees to our team expectations and rules can join.

EXPECTATIONS
