LEARN THE SKILLS TO TEACH THE SKILLS
At our On-the-Bike (OTB) skills clinics, coaches learn the progressive steps needed to teach both basic and advanced mountain biking skills.
The curriculum also covers experiential teaching techniques, methods for accommodating different learning styles, and strategies for creating a positive learning environment for young riders.
The clinic is taught by NICA Certified Skills Trainers and is required for License Levels 2 and 3. Please note that new coaches must complete Leadership Summit training, either online or in person, prior to attending OTB 201. Additionally, OTB 101 and 201 cannot be completed on the same weekend.
This clinic is held outdoors. Please bring your bike and appropriate riding gear for the weather. Field guides are included in the registration fee.
