Please look over each requirement carefully in order to know what you will need for your renewal. Please submit all documents to coaching@usabmx.com.
Renewal Application

Background Check
Your next step is to submit a background check. You must submit one every two years and the process could take a few weeks. The cost for the background check is $20.50 and required in order to make your coaching payment. Click here to submit your background check.
Adult and Pediatric First Aid CPR
Another requirement that requires to be updated every two years is a Basic Adult and Pediatric First Aid CPR certification.

DO NOT SEND A BLS PROVIDER CARD UNLESS YOU ARE A FIRST RESPONDER OR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. If you are one, please send in a copy of your professional photo ID as well as a stand alone First Aid certificate as the BLS will cover your CPR portion ONLY.
CDC Heads Up Concussion
Concussions are not to be taken lightly and so all new and renewing coaches will have to submit a certificate of completion for the CDC Heads Up Concussion Training Module for Youth Coaches. This course is online and the certification needs to be renewed every two years as well, the module can be found by clicking here.
New Rider Program Form
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. To download the form, please click here.
Coaching Payment
The final step to obtain your renewed license is to make the coaching payment. The fee to be a coach for the year is $60.00. In order to make the payment, you must already have a credit/debit card on file or you will receive an error message. A coaching license does not give you the ability to race, you must have a race membership to race.
