Coaching Clinic: Essential MTB Skills

Cost: Included with MiSCA coach registration (in-person)
Deposit: $25 (refunded upon successful completion, space is limited – no refunds for missed clinics)
Time: Approximately 4 Hours
Prerequisite: Coaching on the Trail

During rides with student-athletes, coaches have the unique opportunity to reinforce good riding habits
and techniques. The Michigan Scholastic Cycling Association offers three levels of skills instruction for
coaches. At this first level, we hope to empower coaches to recognize opportunities for improvement
during rides and provide the appropriate language and instruction to share with student-athletes.

The skill descriptions and teaching points covered in this course will introduce you to the common language and terminology used to instruct team members. Riders and coaches of all levels can benefit from reinforcing essential skills in their daily riding.

LOCATION NOTE: Takes place at Ottowa Park – meet up and clinic will be held in the field just south of the parking lot at the Toledo Police Museum which is also located on the park property. [MAP]
