NCCP: Club Theory B (Training to Race)

Club Theory B

This module is officially titled: NCCP Ready to Race! Introduction to Competition Training to Race in the Coaches Association of Canada LOCKER system.

The module helps you learn how to manage a club or team for participants in the “Learn to Train” and “Train to Train” stages of the Long Term Athlete Development Model.

Participants work through various individual and small group activities to complete the second half of Cycling BC’s Club Coach journal and prepare an annual training plan, an event travel plan, and more! Journals are due within seven days of our final session to help consolidate learning outcomes and work towards certification in the future. Once complete, participants can transpose their journal answers into the official portfolio document (or request assistance from Cycling BC) and then pursue certification by submitting the document to Cycling Canada.

The module is facilitated online over 6 x 2-hour sessions. Participants are expected to attend and actively participate in each session. Please ensure that your video and microphone are working well and that you have completed the pre-event homework (included in your registration confirmation email). Participants who miss a session can watch the recording but must submit their assignment before the next session.

This particular event is organized and facilitated by Cycling Canada. To register, use our Cycling BC portal to navigate to the Cycling Canada Learning Management System. Next, select “Courses” and an upcoming Training to Race module of your choice.
