Coaches are the backbone of our team...

We believe that every athlete deserves a POSITIVE and WELL-TRAINED coach. Coaches in the Georgia Cycling Association are some of the most trained and qualified adults in youth sports today. 

Before accompanying your child on any coaching session, all coaches are required to undergo a background check and complete training in areas such as concussion management, abuse prevention, bike handling skills, and effective communication strategies to ensure consistency in messaging. These are the fundamental prerequisites for attaining the role of a level 1 assistant coach. However, level 2 and level 3 "master" coaches are also mandated to undergo more extensive training, including practical field experience, ongoing education, and first aid/CPR certification. These criteria must be renewed annually or semi-annually, providing assurance that your child is in a safe environment and working with a coach dedicated to their success.
