About Us

The New York Cycling League, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, was founded in 2012, and is a project league of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association. We facilitate the development of interscholastic cycling teams/clubs for kids in 5th grade, middle school, and high school, and provide the education, training, licensing and insurance for coaches and volunteers. We also provide a high-quality mountain bike racing experience that emphasizes the value of each participant (no one is benched), camaraderie among peers, a positive sporting behavior and the cultivation of health over competition.

The New York Interscholastic Cycling League:

  • Fills a niche for students whose needs may not met by traditional interscholastic sports
  • Gets kids outside
  • Welcomes and supports diversity in ability, ethnicity, gender, orientation, and skill level
  • Promotes trail-building efforts and environmental awareness
  • Improves focus and academic performance in our student-athletes
  • Promotes health & fitness in teens & their families
New York Cycling League Mission:

Establish and maintain safe, quality scholastic mountain bike programs

Our Management Team
