Any volunteers riding with the students are required to have (at a minimum) a background check and cursory training on topics such as concussions, etc.... Depending on the interest, there's a progression of coach training (including Wilderness First Aid, CPR, etc...) that's commensurate with the volunteer's role on the team. Examples include Head/Assistant coaches, Lead Riders, Sweepers (who follow behind the last students), and roaming coaches who'll work across the different groups.
