Coaches Leaders Summit
Comprehensive Leadership for the Complete Athlete

October 25/26, 2008
Golden Bear Cottages, Big Bear Lake

The SoCal High School Mountain Bike League’s annual Leaders’ Summit will bring 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.

Saturday, October 25: 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.

Sunday, October 26: Professional Development Seminars
Multiple sessions designed to help coaches successfully manage, lead, and work with high school mountain bike teams. These seminars will cover numerous aspects of coaching and leadership. Below is a list of sample seminar topics:

The enrollment cost is $195 and includes a two-night stay (Fri/Sat) at Golden Bear Cottages and Sat/Sun breakfast and lunch. A $50 discount is available for folks who do not need a place to stay.
