The National Interscholastic #Cycling Association (#NICA) mission includes "improving the lives of #teens and positively impacting communities by providing a high-quality, safe and fun interscholastic #MountainBike program based on the principles of strong body, strong mind, strong character, equality, and inclusivity." There are regional chapters across the USA, from Alabama to Wisconsin. https://nationalmtb.org/nica-leagues/

The Northern #California (NorCal) League of NICA includes #Monterey County teams. Find those in Section 7 High School Cycling Teams of Bicycling Monterey's 35-section directory "Monterey County Bicycling Resources and Bike Community Leaders": https://bit.ly/BikeMRYDirectory
