Donation protected
The Starkey Composite Youth Mountain Biking Season has only just begun! The race season is just around the corner, and we need basic supplies (tents, banners, registration fees, gear, tools, jerseys and so much more). The pre-season is just started up and we need your help to ensure our student athletes will have an amazing season! Partner with our team to help us continue to get more kids on bikes!
Who are we?
We are a Florida NICA team (middle and high-school mountain bike) and Pasco County’s only youth cycling program. We compete in a 5-race series against 17 other teams (Over 180 other racers!!). We race at various mountain bike parks in the state of Florida starting in early February. We hold weekly team practices and development training. Our goal is to make cycling more accessible and enjoyable for all of Pasco County. Starkey Composite is also a non-profit entity in the State of Florida and a 501(c)(3) recognized not for profit with the IRS and your donations are tax debatable.
What is NICA?

NICA is about having amazing adventures with your teammates while tackling both small and epic challenges." For more information on NICA please visit: nationalmtb.org
