Duties:
The CIT is assigned to a team at Wheel Kids. Under the guidance of the Head Coach the CIT assists with all aspects of running the team. This could include taking the lead during a group ride to set pace and model safe riding skills; it could mean “riding herd” in the middle or rear of the group to keep everyone together and maintain communication with the lead coach; it could be setting up a skills course, demonstrating the techniques and helping the group learn the skills; it could be refereeing or coaching a game; it could be chaperoning a small group during a field trip activity or other off-the-bike event. Nearly all aspects of a coach’s duties can be performed by the CIT, as appropriate for age and abilities.
Perks:
Wheel Kids staff will train each CIT in these tasks. Training will entail direct teaching through discussion and demonstration, and lots of hands-on work with supervision and evaluation provided by the coaches. CIT’s can expect to learn leadership skills, social skills, communication skills, emergency preparedness and basic first aid, bicycle maintenance skills, and advanced bicycling skills (if appropriate to their initial cycling abilities). Wheel Kids is happy to assist with your child’s school’s community service requirements.
