Why should I choose a USA Cycling certified coach?

USA Cycling seeks to provide a safe and fun environment for all its participants in the sport of cycling. To become a USA Cycling certified coach, a candidate must pass a test for each level of proficiency that requires a coach to demonstrate knowledge of cycling principles appropriate for that level.

Additionally, in order to maintain their certification a USAC coach must continue their development by completing Continuing Education Units. These CEU's help the coach to become better familiar with different facets of training and coaching.

USA Cycling recognizes that there are elements of coaching that go beyond knowledge of cycling techniques and rules, and that participants and parents alike strive to find coaches who are worthy of their confidence and trust in many other respects. For that reason, USA Cycling subjects each coaching applicant to a criminal background check.

As an athlete the real question you need to ask yourself is why would you settle for anything less?
