Join us for an energizing weekend of connection, leadership development, and trail-building fun at the Florida NICA Coaches Retreat! This annual event is designed to bring together team directors, head and assistant coaches, ride leaders, parent volunteers, sponsors, and league staff—whether you’re new to FL NICA or a seasoned veteran— share strategies, strengthen skills, and build a more unified coaching community.
This year’s retreat promotes a holistic approach to youth development and community building using trail access as a catalyst, with a focus on fostering environments where student-athletes grow in confidence, character, and community. Expect thoughtful conversations around trail building and design, community building, team culture, coaching practices, and program growth, as well as breakout sessions designed to support you in your leadership journey.
