The Georgia Cycling Association’s Annual Leadership Summit is a standout event in the world of youth sports, offering comprehensive in-person training and support for our community of volunteer youth mountain bike coaches.
Unlike many community-based youth sports, where volunteer training is often limited, Georgia Cyling’s Leadership Summit provides specialized education, hands-on training, and networking opportunities tailored specifically for our TeamMTB and Trail Rangers coaches. This unique approach sets a high standard within the youth sports space, empowering coaches with the skills they need to inspire and mentor young athletes effectively.
Each Leadership Summit event uses workshops, discussions, peer-to-peer sharing, and on-the-bike training sessions to provide coaches insight into technical biking skills and adolescent athlete development. This event is an optional in-person complement to the extensive online training that all coaches must complete before coaching our student-athletes. By offering resources and leadership development, the Georgia Cycling Association works to ensure our coaching community is well-prepared to foster a supportive and impactful mountain biking experience for their teams.
The Leadership Summit underscores the Georgia Cycling Association’s commitment to investing in its volunteers by providing meaningful support to its coaches. We aim to create a well-trained coaching community empowered to inspire the next generation of mountain bikers across Georgia.

A core part of the Summit’s mission is to keep the event accessible. The Georgia Cycling Association prioritizes low registration costs so that as many coaches as possible can benefit from the training, regardless of financial constraints. Event registration fees are designed primarily to cover the organization’s expenses related to hosting the event. In addition, we offer a financial assistance program to help underwrite registration costs for a coach whose financial situation would otherwise prevent them from attending.
