BECOME A COACH
Every Kid is Worth It. Ride With Us.
A PICL coach is more than a ride leader—they’re a mentor, a motivator, and a trusted role model. Our coaches prioritize the mental, physical, and social well-being of every student-athlete. And while safety comes first, fun and personal growth are a close second!
Whether you're an experienced cyclist or just passionate about helping kids grow, there's a place for you on a team.
No Sidelines. No Whistle.
You ride right alongside your athletes, helping them build confidence, resilience, and a love for adventure.
Coaching with Purpose
PICL coaches are trained through the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA), which sets the gold standard for youth sports coaching. You’ll be guided by best practices in youth development, leadership, and outdoor education.
How to Get Started
All coaches complete NICA’s Coach Licensing program, which offers three levels of involvement:
Level 1 Coach: Supports the team under direction of the Head Coach. Great for new volunteers.
Level 2 Coach: Leads practices and rides with increased responsibility.
Level 3 Coach: Head Coach or team leadership role with full oversight of team operations.
No Experience? No Problem.
You don’t need to be a cycling expert. PICL provides comprehensive training and support throughout the year.
Coaching with an existing team is a great way to get started—and if there’s no team near you, we’ll help you find or start one.
