COACHES

COACHING REQUIREMENTS:

Coaches in the Georgia Cycling Association are some of the best trained coaches anywhere. All of our coaches are volunteers, but that means more than just raising a hand. Every coach that works with your child is trained by the Georgia Cycling Association though a curriculum that they developed specifically to cater to 6th - 12th grade students. 

Before any coach rides with your child, they all must pass a background check and complete courses in concussion, abuse, bike skills, and what words and phrases to communicate to your child so that the message is consistent no matter the coach. That is the bare minimum to become a level 1 assistant coach. However, level 2 coaches & level 3 "master" coaches must also complete more in depth training including field hours, continuing education & first aid/CPR. These requirements are renewed annually or semi-annually so you can be assured your child is safe and working with a coach who truly wants to see them succeed.
