Saturday, March 28, 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM – Leadership and Coaching Seminars

Weekend seminars cover the core principles of working with middle and high school student-athletes in the context of a Tennessee mountain bike team. These seminars provide basic and in depth knowledge that all Tennessee Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, and Ride Leaders should be aware of and incorporate into their team programs. Experienced coaches and new coaches alike will benefit from this informative day of discussion. We will build on the knowledge learned in previous Leaders Summits to provide a more in depth break out session for experienced coaches.

LEARN THE SKILLS TO TEACH THE SKILLS. Coaches learn the progressive steps needed to teach anyone both basic and advanced mountain biking skills. Coaches also learn about experiential teaching techniques, how to accommodate different learning styles, and how to create a positive learning environment for young riders. Four hours of this clinic is outside on your bike, so please bring your bike and appropriate riding gear for the weather. Taught by NICA Certified Skills Trainers.

Required for License Levels 2 & 3. New Coaches must attend the TN Leaders Summit prior to OTB 201 training. OTB 101 and 201 cannot be completed on the same weekend.

Field guides included in registration fee. Cost is $50.
