!! Annual Calendar
The following is a rough outline of the basic tasks that must get done by most clubs throughout the academic year. A more detailed guide is available in the [[http://usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=6616 | USAC Collegiate Team Leader's Guide]].
Note that if you're starting a new club and going to race any of the fall seasons, you must [[ClubOfficers.ClubLicenses | get a USA Cycling club license]] once your club is recognized, before you start racing. Existing teams generally renew their licenses over the winter, as listed below.

* ''Late Summer''
** '''Get Recognized'''\\
Make sure your club is officially recognized by your school for the year and ready to go. Typically this means submitting a list of officers, club constitution, roster, and club sports/recreation waivers for all racers.
* ''Fall''

** '''[[ClubOfficers.TeamClothing | Order Team Kits]]'''\\
Custom [[ClubOfficers.TeamClothing | team cycling clothing]] is feasible and affordable for teams of all sizes, but has to be done well in advance of racing; place your order by November to have it for the spring season.
** '''Attend ECCC Fall Meeting'''\\
The conference meets every year in mid-November to go over general issues, hold team building workshops, and establish the road season schedule. Your team should have someone there.
* ''Winter''
** '''Keep Riders Motivated!'''\\
It's hard to keep team members engaged over the winter; organize off-the-bike social events and fun rides to keep things happening.
** '''[[ClubOfficers.ClubLicenses | Renew Club License]]'''\\
Existing clubs should renew their [[ClubOfficers.ClubLicenses | USAC Collegiate club license]] for the coming year in December or January.
** '''[[Racers.Licenses | Get Rider Licenses]]'''\\
Once the club license is set, teams should have riders purchase or renew their [[Racers.Licenses | individual licenses]] in January or February, or a few weeks before whatever season they will be racing in (they should be doing all of them!).
** '''Attend ECCC Spring Meeting'''\\
Mid-February, the conference holds another meeting to check up on the road season and schedule cyclocross, track, and MTB. Your team should have someone there.
* ''Spring''
** '''[[Calendar.Current | Road Race!]]'''\\
Showtime! Find races, race flyers, and pre-registration links on the (:calendar:).
** '''Propose New Budget'''\\
Most schools require clubs to submit budget proposals for next year's funding during the spring term.
** '''Hold Elections'''\\
Prepare to hit the ground running next year by deciding who will be the club officers before breaking for the summer. Some teams instead do this over the winter so that the outgoing officers can coach the new leaders.
After all that, take a (short) break and celebrate, you just guided your team through a full year of racing!
