Become a
Coach.
Our team is volunteer-run - and we are always looking for help.
01 Why Coach
Make a difference.
Coaching with Central MTB is a rewarding way to share your love of mountain biking with the next generation. You do not need to be an expert rider - you just need enthusiasm, patience, and a willingness to learn.
02 Requirements
How to get licensed.
All coaches are licensed through the Minnesota Cycling Association (MCA). There are three license levels with increasing requirements. Here are the basics to get started:
- Complete a background check (all levels)
- Complete online training (all levels)
- First aid and CPR certification (Level 2 and 3)
- Mountain Bike Skills 1: Essentials (Level 2 and 3)
- Attend MCA Spring Summit for new coaches (Level 3)
- Complete field work hours (Level 2 and 3)
MCA provides comprehensive coach education and will walk you through the entire process. Learn more about becoming a coach on the MCA website.
Interested? Email us and we will walk you through the process. Parents who want to participate in one ride can do so after signing a waiver.
