Registering for the West Madison Area mountain bike teams involves a few steps. Here they are, all in one place. 

This team is open to all riders, regardless of financial situation. If you need assistance to help cover the costs, please complete this Google form. You can also apply for NICA Financial Assistance (both national and WI league) before registering for the season to cover league registration and festival weekend fees (where races will take place). 

Total fees for 2024: $240 ($50 NICA fee, $75 Wisconsin League fee, and $150 West Madison MTB team fee). Team fees cover fun activities like ice cream rides and pizza rides, and the end of season banquet and team swag. Team fees do not include race fees or race jerseys (ordered separately).

This year, the league has raised their prices for festival weekends (a.k.a. race weekends) to $75 each. In the spirit of offsetting that increased cost and encouraging everyone to attend one of the festival weekends, the West Madison MTB Team will apply a $75 “One Festival on Us” discount to the Madison West team fee. This is only for the 2024 season and will bring the team fee from $150 down to $75. 

Sorry, team fees are not refundable.

New Riders! Interested riders must submit a Google form with their school information. After that, we match them to the correct team, add them to the team roster on PitZone, and send them an email invitation to set up an account in PitZone. We will notify you if your athlete is on our waiting list.

Calling all interested adults! We need adult volunteers to ride with athletes at practice – parents, guardians, any adults! You don’t need to be an amazing mountain biker – just have an interest in having fun riding bikes with athletes and other coaches. All levels of experience welcome (we provide training before the season begins, so you will know what to do). Please complete this form to find out more about coaching. We also need adult help with all kinds of other team activities. Please fill out this form to volunteer in other ways.

Registration Part 1: Register with NICA. Returning athletes will be automatically re-invited to PitZone. New riders who have submitted the Google interest form in Step 1 will receive an invitation to PitZone and a welcome email from the team director. Wait to proceed to the following steps until you have been invited to PitZone and received your welcome email. Complete NICA registration and pay annual Wisconsin League fee ($75) and NICA fee ($50) in PitZone. You can also pay for festival weekends in PitZone.

Registration Part 2: Register for the team in TeamSnap and pay team fees. You will also be invited to join TeamSnap. In TeamSnap, you will complete your registration and pay your team fee of $150 per rider by credit card.

Team communication: All team communication will happen via TeamSnap this year, so be sure that you have downloaded the TeamSnap app on your phone and added your complete contact details, including your phone number. We will often need to send last-minute information, due to weather, and prefer to do this via alerts versus email when possible.

Order jersey/team gear: Keep an eye on weekly team emails re. ordering team jerseys and other team gear.
