Gainesville Youth Mountain Bike Team

The Gainesville Composite Mountain Bike Team (GNV MTB) is a National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) sanctioned youth mountain bike team. We were founded in 2019 as part of the Florida Interscholastic Cycling League (FICL), a NICA Project League.

Our mission is to provide a safe, fun and high-quality mountain biking program for student-athletes in grades 6-12, regardless of ability. We are committed to youth development and providing a positive experience for all student-athletes in accordance with NICA’s Five Core Principals: Fun, Inclusivity, Equity, Respect, and Community.

As a “composite” team, we represent many different schools in the north-central Florida area. As we grow and accumulate 5 or more athletes from the same school, those particular athletes will race under their school’s name while the remaining athletes will stay part of the composite team.
