With the school year coming to a close and summer just around the corner, another successful spring season of NICA races are coming to an end. Congratulations to the 4,719 registered student-athletes, 2,238 licensed coaches, countless volunteers and all parents who helped make the spring season in seven separate NICA leagues a huge success!
The months of May and June also give us an opportunity to recognize and thank NICA Moms and Dads for all their support before, during and after the dust settles on the race courses. NICA leagues rely heavily on volunteers for success, and a vast majority of those volunteers are parents of student-athletes. From supporting their student-athlete(s) to volunteering on their child’s team and league, parents of NICA are helping to keep the youth mountain biking momentum moving from coast to coast. Thank you NICA Parents!
It’s easy to see how important parents are to NICA, but what’s also impressive is how vital NICA is to parents. As their children join NICA teams, many parents are becoming mountain bikers or re-discovering their love of riding. Below, you’ll meet Paula who started cycling because of her son. To all the parents, like Paula, who help our student-athletes grow strong in mind, strong in body and strong in character Happy Mother’s Day, and Happy Father’s Day!
With Sincere Gratitude,
Austin
