All riders on our team have many opportunities to meet their goals with the help of our volunteer coaches.  Coaches range from recreational riders to top racers and parents who just started mountain biking.  Some of them spend crazy amounts of time biking.  Depending on their coach level, they attend leader summits, seminars, bike skills, camps, first aid, CPR, and Wilderness training to prepare for our season.  All in the hope that they can share their lifelong love of the sport with your children!  We are grateful to all our coaches for their different perspectives and experiences.  

All MCA Coaches are required to obtain a coach license at one of three levels:

• Level 1 Certification: Assists all coaches as directed by the head coach.
