The
NorCal High School Mountain Bike League’s annual Leaders’ Summit brings together
coaches, assistant coaches, ride leaders, and parent volunteers—both new
and experienced—to develop skills and knowledge, share strategies, and
build community. This conference will promote a holistic approach to coaching
that creates an environment in which young people can grow and thrive. This is
a great opportunity to spend a weekend in the company of peers and energize for
the upcoming season.
October 17 (Friday): MTB 101: Learn the Skills to Teach the Skills
This
clinic offers a “behind the scenes" look at the NorCal League’s mountain
bike skills clinics. You will learn the progressive steps needed to teach
anyone (even yourself) both basic and advanced mountain biking skills. You will
also learn about experiential teaching techniques, how to accommodate different
learning styles, and how to create a positive learning environment for young
riders. Much of this workshop is experiential and on the bike.
