School Cycling Instructor Advancement
SCI Level 4 Training

The series of quizzes cover information provided in the online training, "Introducing Physical Education Teachers to Cycling" as well as the "YES-KIDS Bike" curricula. Upon completion of each quiz, a score will be posted for your review - a score of 80% or better is passing. Upon passing the quizzes and after all required documents are received by YES, you will receive your SCI Level 4 Certification with your lifetime SCI number.
As a new SCI, YES will begin building your personal Web page with the information supplied in the SCI Application Form. Please respond as soon as possible to an email requesting your photograph and any additional information. If one of your schools establishes a School Cycling Club, notify YES so that information can be posted to the School Cycling Team listing.

SCI Level 2
A SCI interested in achieving Level 2 status will be required to have a SCI Level 3 certification and attend a Level 2 Clinic. The clinic prepares our SCI to train cycling athletes and physical education teachers in the next level of the sport. Those who attend can expect to take home a wealth of knowledge in achieving a higher level of bike handling skills, a better understanding of the physiological stresses and adaptations the body endures through training, and how to utilize these stresses and adaptation in developing a better, more succinct, school lesson plan. All of these can be used to help teachers conduct bicycling lessons and achieve a higher level of success and accomplishment on the bike. Additionally, a SCI Level 2 can be hired as a "School Cycling Coach."
SCI Level 1
To advance to the highest level SCI, you must be a Level 2 SCI in good standing and have cycling competition experience. The SCI must attend a Level 1 Clinic and pass the Level 1 Competency Quiz. The mission of this SCI is to establish bicycling as a competitive sport at schools and inspire interscholastic competition in whatever discipline is best suited for the school and community.
A SCI Level 1 is required to submit all their School Cycling Teams for listing on the YES Web site - we want to brag about your coaching achievements!
