How to Start a team

Oklahoma NICA teams create an empowering team environment, full of opportunities, mentorship, and camaraderie. We’re actively building teams around the state! Here’s how to join us:

Start with your why:

NICA teams are more than just sports teams: they’re places where kids thrive, challenge themselves, and develop their character – all while using the mountain bike as a tool. A team starts with an adult (or group of adults) who can help create this positive environment for kids.

Who can start a team:

Teams can start with parents, teachers, bike shops, or local rec programs.

What does a team structure look like?

Teams can be school-based, or built as “composite” teams around a geographic area. Teams can be big or small! You’ll need a minimum of 1 adult coach for every 6 kids.

Where:

We’re forming teams all across the state. Reach out to us to find out if there’s a team close to you, or if you can start one!
