NCCP: Training Basics

This January, Cycling Canada will be piloting the Ready to Race! Training Basics course, to be completed online.  If successful, their goal is to schedule a few off-bike NCCP courses each year through this format.  This will help coaches in remote areas or with limited access to workshops the opportunity to work on their NCCP certification.

Ready to Race! Introduction to Competition (R2R) is the context for coaches who will primarily work with new competitive cyclists at the community and club level. These athletes will likely be in the Learn to Train to Train to Train stages of LTAD, although the context could apply to any new racer of any age. These athletes have basic but developed cycling skills and the desire to begin competing within a structured training and competition program. They should have passed through an entry-level Community Initiation program (CCI) to help them develop the basic skills.
