How to Register

The registration process takes a few steps, so please be patient.

Step 1: If you are interested in joining the team but are not 100% sure, please complete this Google Form. This form will get you on our contact list and we can provide you with more information. IF YOU KNOW FOR SURE YOU ARE JOINING THE TEAM, YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE THIS FORM. Just register using the NICA PitZone and the team registration form below.

Step 2: Register your athlete with NICA and pay NICA league fees. If you are new to the team, you will receive an email from the "NICA PitZone a few days after you complete the google form above. Use this email to create a login and register your child/rider. The fee structure for NICA is a little cumbersome. There is a $50 fee for registering with NICA and a $75 fee for registering with the Wisconsin Interscholastic Cycling League. Both of these fees are paid in the NICA PitZone when you register your rider. In addition, there is a team fee of $100 (see below). You must pay all of these registration fees before your rider can practice with the team. There are also fees for "Event Weekends". These are what have been called "race weekends" in the past. There is an option to pay $300 by 8/27/2024 to be eligible for all event weekends (races and adventure rides). This is great if you are going to do 4 of 6 "Event Weekends". If you are unsure about whether you will attend enough event weekends, then hold off on paying for this until later. You will receive a reminder (or several) before the deadline.

Step 3: Register your athlete with the DeForest Mountain Bike Team and pay Local Team Fees. Before your rider can participate in practices or races you need to register your rider with the DeForest Mountain Bike Team and pay the team fee. The team fee this year is $100. 100% of this money stays with our team. This fee covers the cost of coach training (on-the-bike skills, first aid/CPR), equipment that the team needs to function well, food at races and events, and events the team organizes. There are no paid positions within the local team, so these fees cover all of the things the local team needs to provide a safe and fun community for riders. The team registration form is below.

Scholarships - we want all riders who are interested in joining our team to be able to do so. Financial situations should never hinder athlete participation. You can receive financial support for either or both of the NICA fees or our local team fees ($100).

To request support for the NICA fees, please go here and complete the form.

With our team registration below, you can enter an amount between $25-$150 for our local team fees. Please select an amount that works for your family.
