COACH RESOURCES

We need all the help we can get for our training rides. NICA requires 2 adults riding per 8 athletes at practices. All skill levels of adults are welcome, beginners included! Minimum of Level 1 Certification through NICA is required (cost is $25). A skills clinic is also required and will be offered through the team. Keep an eye on Slack communications and the team calendar for dates and locations.
If this is your FIRST year volunteering as a coach/ride leader with our team, please contact Michelle Rosenvall.

National Interscholastic Cycling League (NICA) offers 3 levels of certification:

• Level 1 Certification: Assists all coaches as directed by the Head Coach.
• Level 2 Certification: Assists level 3 coaches with tasks such as teaching skills and leading rides.
• Level 3 Certification: Takes a leadership role within the team. Equivalent competencies as Head Coach. 

We encourage all coaches to reach level 2 or 3 certification in order to be of the greatest assistance to the team. Level 1 coaches are able to sweep on ride, but not lead them.

Practices are T/Th evenings. The more consistently you can come, the better. But we have lives too and we get it. Come when you can and your help is always appreciated! The athletes are divided into groups according to speed and ability, and we need coaches to ride with each level. 

Coach jerseys are in progress and we will keep you updated as to when they are available to order! Coach jerseys are a trail style jersey, short sleeves, lightweight, slightly modified design from the athlete's kits, and say COACH on the back. Men's and Women's fits will be available.
