The Maryland Interscholastic Cycling League’s third annual Leader Summit will bring together coaches —both new and experienced—to develop skills and knowledge, share strategies, and build community.

In 2020, Maryland will continue our mission of providing the opportunity for every middle and high school student, public or private, to form club teams and participate in a scholastic mountain bike season brought to you by the Maryland League, an official project league of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA). This conference will promote a holistic approach to coaching that creates an environment in which young people can grow and thrive.

With over 700 NICA teams across 25 leagues in 24 states in the US, we don't have to reinvent any wheels in Maryland. Currently, over 18,000 Student-Athletes participate in leagues across the country with league growth averaging 35% every year, this is an exciting time for kids and adult mentors in Maryland to be apart of the fastest growing youth mountain bike program in the US.

Team formation and official registration start April 1st - just days after the summit! In-season team practices can start on July 1st. Our racing season will run from September through October, with race venues located throughout the state.
