GRiT stands for Girls Riding Together.  GRiT is NICA’s initiative to increase female participation to 35% overall by 2033. Madison West had 27% female participation last year (across athletes and coaches).  And while we’re proud of this statistic, we have room to grow.  So consider inviting a female friend to join the team.  If they’re not sure what it’s all about, encourage them to come to one of our “try it out” activities.  

Please spread the word to your friends, neighbors and colleagues who could be athletes or coaches this season with Madison West, Madison East, Verona, Memorial, Middleton/Cross Plains, Waunakee, Mt. Horeb, and Sun Prairie – encourage them to come Try-it-OUT!!  Coaches, Please fill out this short form if you can help out!  Our goal is to have female coaches lead the ride groups, but we would gladly accept help from our awesome male coaches, too.
