Vernon Trails Area Composite
Youth Mountain Biking
A community-based mountain bike team for youth in Vernon County—focused on skills, confidence, teamwork, and fun.
A Youth Mountain Bike Team Built for Everyone
Vernon Trails Area Composite (VTAC) is part of the Wisconsin League of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA). This is a youth mountain biking team open to all middle and high school-aged riders within the Vernon County and surrounding areas.
What started as a humble team of high school riders in California has now grown into the country’s largest network of youth mountain bike leagues. NICA now has a presence in 30 states across the country, and over 24,000 athletes.
VTAC and NICA’s mission is to build strong minds, bodies, character, and communities through cycling. We foster this mission by focusing on our core values of fun, inclusivity, equity, respect and community.
- VTAC’s season runs July – October with practices in the evenings twice weekly at Sidie Hollow, with some special sessions at KVR or Hubbard Hills
- 5 optional Festival Weekends with races in September and October across Wisconsin
- There are no tryouts, there’s no bench. Everyone rides, and everyone has a place in NICA
- Scholarships and loaner/rental bikes are available
