Tennessee League coaches are leaders who inspire youth to become lifelong cyclists!
NICA’s comprehensive coach education program provides both new and existing coaches with the training and resources needed to be confident, competent, and empowered leaders.
Tennessee NICA coaches do more than create amazing experiences for student-athletes; they build the foundation for healthy mountain biking teams and communities. Our coaches uphold and implement the NICA mission of building strong minds, strong bodies, strong character, and strong communities by getting more kids on bikes!
How do I get started?
The path to becoming a Tennessee League coach generally begins with attending a Leadership Summit or Coach Retreat. The next step is to obtain a NICA coach license which encompass safety and wellness training along with a background check. Then, gather support from your community and create or join a team with guidance from your League.
