New Rider Information for Parents & Students
Welcome to the Tennessee League family!
If you are looking for a fun, safe and engaging way to explore with friends on bikes, you are in the right place. Getting involved with our League is simple. Our bicycle programs, practices, and racing season begins in April with the pre-season and concludes in early November each year, while team development and coach training begins in March. Together with parents and teachers, we develop school-based bicycle programs for student-athletes across the state of Tennessee.
Steps to Get Started:
Step 1: Determine if a team is available in your area.
You can find a list of current teams here. Once you review the list of teams, please reach out to your League Director for information on how to get connected. New parents can start a team—no experience is necessary, as we provide all the training and resources to have a successful team. Students can also participate as independent riders.
Step 2: Register in the NICA Pit Zone.
Your head coach or team director will send you an invitation to join and get started in the NICA Pit Zone, our private and secure online registration system. Once you receive the link via email, sign up with your League in the Pit Zone to become “practice ready“.
Step 3: Enjoy being part of your team.
The official season start date is in July, with our pre-season starting in April. We encourage parents to get involved by volunteering as a coach or helping out during League event weekends. To learn more about what it means to be part of the Tennessee League family, please visit here.
