Missed the opportunity to participate in one of our Tr-it clinics and camps this pre-season?
Fear not! While we are now actively in practice season as of July 1st, the team still welcomes your Middle and High School students to come to a practice to try out what it feels like to be part of our team.
Come and experience one of our practices and learn about NICA, PICL and us, the Lehigh Valley Lightning teams. Meet your future teammates and coaches, learn a few skills and ride with the crew.
No mountain bike experience needed.
We have select loaner bikes available for trying it out. To request a DCNR loaner bike please send us a note that includes your child’s height and inseam measurements. We will try our best to accommodate any Middle or Highschool student (grades 6-12) who would like to try it out, regardless of their ability levels or equipment accessible to them at any time.
You will be asked to fill out an electronic waiver prior to your participation. This waiver will allow you to participate in up to 3 consecutive practices this season.

Still curious to know more about NICA? Watch this recent video about the West Virginia league. Several of our students and coaches have visited this league at Big Bear Lake for their annual GRiT Camp over the past years and forged great friendships with staff and students alike in the process.
A great reminder of how inclusive and welcoming not just each team, but entire NICA leagues across the US are!
