BikeNZ is taking initiatives to ensure that all cyclists have accessibility to trained and comptent coaches. Following a successful level one BMX coaching course run late last year, BikeNZ, under the direction of development manger Amy Taylor, will extend these coaching resources to both the road and track disciplines.
A Level 1 Road coaching course will be run in Hamilton over the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd October, with a Level One Track coaching course scheduled for the 5th and 6th of November in Auckland
Both Level 1 courses are appropriate for anyone new to coaching, including parents, club members or interested cyclists. You do need to be 17 years of age or over to participate. If you are experienced in coaching and want to ensure you are on the right track, or want to progress to Level 2 then this course is also appropriate for you. Each course will cover the “how to” of coaching, including communication, learning styles, essential road or track cycling techniques, training, and will include a practical coaching session
Along with this, a support system will be set in place to ensure continued education for all BikeNZ qualified coaches.
These courses are in high demand so register now to ensure that you don’t miss out. For further information or to register, please email Amy Taylor amy@bikenz.org.nz
