Coaching courses offered for Road, MTB and BMX
Athlete development is an important function of the ABA, but without good coaches this is impossible. As part of our goal to be the best cycling province in Canada we have identified the need for more coaches, and better coaches for this to happen. Recently, there has been some changes in the NCCP program in the last couple of years which should result in better coaching. We are excited to offer all the Introduction to Competition courses in 2010. We will be offering all the skills courses in 2010 as well, which will provide opportunity for coaches to become fully certified.

If you or someone you know has always been interested in becoming a cycling coach, or want to continue your coaching development with NCCP certification contact the Provincial Coach Rick Thiessen for more information. Coaches that have already taken NCCP courses under the old system, or have some NCCP certification can also contact Rick to find out how they fit into the new NCCP program.
