Local coaches are now required to complete and submit the New Rider Program Form.  This form must be signed by your Track Operator and the Lesson/Clinic dates must be entered into the online scheduler and verified by the coaching department before you will receive your coaching license.

12. Abuse Preventation & Code of Conduct

Recently, we've partnered with a company to offer Sexual Abuse Awareness Training to all adults who are getting a background screen to work with the children of our sport. These training videos are 10 short videos that will take around 1 hour to complete. At the end of that, there is a quiz that is about 25 questions related to the topic. A score of 70% or better is required to pass the quiz, which should be easily attainable. This training should be renewed every two (2) years and the AbusePreventionSystems.com website will keep track of that due date. USA BMX covers the cost of the training, so there is no cost to you.

 
Once that is completed, we will send a Code Of Conduct via DropBox Sign for you to sign. This document covers appropriate interactions with children. You can digitally sign that document from any device.
 

These new measures are being put in place to better protect the children within our sport and your compliance with getting these items done and documented helps us to keep our insurance costs reasonable in this day and age - when insurance costs everywhere are skyrocketing. Thank you for your continued commitment to the sport of bicycle motocross and for your cooperation in keeping our sport safe!

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Coaching Licenses will need to be renewed each year, Background Checks and First Aid Certifications will need to be renewed every 2 years as well as Continuing Education Units (TBA).

In closing, the USA BMX Coaches Certification program is designed to add tools any track's toolbox of success.  The Coaching Certification program is NOT designed to change or impede any clinics or advanced clinics that your track and coaches are currently hosting.  

If your track already has a program that is working well, we encourage you to continue to utilize it, and the process of having a certified coach will merely be a formality that helps to ensure the charater of the coach and the well being of all of our children.  USA BMX encourages as much coaching as possible to be available at Local BMX Tracks as this increases the athleticism and retention of all riders.  Our program even teaches local coaches the value of bringing in guest pro's and clinic tours that help to excite the riders and keep them in the sport longer.
