High school mountain bike racing is one of the fastest AND fastest growing sports in the US. The Tennessee League is committed to providing a positive racing experience for all student-athletes. With a commitment to teaching safe riding practices, they believe forming interscholastic and club teams with a NICA trained coach is the best way for students to have fun and learn how to ride safely.
