Skilled and dedicated coaches are the most important aspect of Wisconsin League high school mountain bike teams. A coach puts the safety and overall well-being of their student-athletes as the first priority. Wisconsin League coaches are role models and teachers who are open to learning the best practices of youth mountain bike coaching and actively work to hone their leadership skills.

  • No experience is necessary to become a Wisconsin League coach.
  • We have several teams already established you could volunteer for – a great way to get a first-hand look at what managing a team is like.
  • We have the tools to help all coaches succeed.
  • We offer comprehensive training at our 2019 Leaders’ Summit events (April).
  • NICA coaches manuals provide detailed coaching instructions. (These are provided if you attend a Leaders’ Summit.)
  • Check out the Educational Resources provided by NICA. Their free webinars are very useful – ranging from information on the NICA Rulebook to How to Start and Manage a HS Team- NICA Webinar Series Schedule
