Become a rider

How joining works

No tryouts, no bench, and no mystery process. The first step is simply letting us know your rider is interested.

  1. Send the form

    Fill out the Wilco registration form — tell us who your rider is, what grade they're in, and the best way for a coach to reach your family.

  2. A coach follows up

    A coach will reach out personally to answer questions about practices, gear, safety, timing, and what the season looks like.

  3. Come to a practice

    Ride with us before you commit. See what practice actually looks like, meet the coaches, and let your rider get a feel for the team before going all in.

  4. Register in PitZone

    When your family is ready, we'll help you through NICA PitZone registration, waivers, and team communication setup.

  5. Start riding

    New riders ease in with coach support. Racing is available when they're ready, but every rider has a place.
