Instruction that inspires growth.

Linden gives colorguard instructors a place to grow together — building on the skills you already have through certification and continuing education that strengthen both your teaching and the long-term health of the activity.

Why Linden

In fields like fitness and coaching, instructor certification and continuing education are the expected standard. Our sport hasn't had that same structure — and it's a missed opportunity to grow together and point toward a stronger, longer future for the activity we all care about. This work also carries real weight: instructors are regularly entrusted with the wellbeing of children, which calls for shared accountability. Linden was formed at that intersection, alongside a genuine love of education, to give instructors a written, shared starting point.
