Team Developments If you’ve had a team or community meeting such as Freddy Maxwell, Jason Trujillo, Ryan Scalva, Peter Kalius, Patrick Bacalis, Jeremy Furnam, and Tim Scott I’d love to hear about it! We are compiling a Colorado League map. I’m available in April and May to attend any informational meetings you may want to schedule please contact me kate@coloradomtb.org. Team and Coach Registration Team and coach registration for the 2010 Colorado High School Mountain Biking Season has been launched. The Coaches Licensing Program, devised by NICA, was established in 2008 in an effort to ensure that Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Ride Leaders are trained in the best practices of youth mountain bike coaching. Obtaining your license also provides the League's comprehensive liability insurance and ensures that basic youth worker precautions are being made. We open the registration process early so clubs/teams can obtain liability insurance to protect them during their club rides and activities. Please keep in mind that coverage only covers official team/club rides partaking in cross-country mountain biking activities. All riders, must be on the team/club roster and submit waivers to the club/team head coach. Race Venues Please let us know your ideas for race course locations! We are looking for public or private venues for conducting high school mountain bike races. Please send your ideas to the chair of our venue committee, none other than Dave Wiens, daveonpine@yahoo.com. Thanks! Tentative Race Schedule |
