This year's Coaches College looking to be the biggest ever

This is an update on our Coaches and Sport Sciences College that is taking place December 14-15 this year.

Our early registration for the event has been significantly higher than it has ever been before and we are really excited by everything that we have planned for our attendees. So far we have strength and conditioning coaches & academic staff already signed up from institutions such as:

Appalachian State University
Boston University
East Stroudsburg University
Eastern Washington University
Georgia College & State University
University of Michigan
University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
Northern Kentucky University
University of Salford (UK)
University of South Carolina
Western Michigan University
Western State Colorado University

Strength and conditioning staff working in professional sport from the New York Mets and Northants County Cricket Club (UK) will be in attendance and several people are coming from the Department of Defense and the US Olympic Training Center at Lake Placid.

We have a higher than normal number of people from various high schools, community colleges, private facilities, and youth training centers. Our attendees will span the full breadth of coaching and sport science application as well as represent many continents.



Along with the normal proceedings, we will be having the first ever annual meeting for the strength and conditioning coaches from the Atlantic Sun Conference. This is something that we are proud to host and wish to continue in future years. Additionally there will be a “collegiate strength and conditioning coach social” following the Friday night banquet with refreshments generously provided by Cybex.

Several people signed up for the UKSCA accreditation on Sunday following the Coaches College, but it is not too late to register for this highly regarded certification.

Lastly we are happy to say that there will be a MAJOR announcement coming out soon regarding cooperation between our Center and an industry leading sports technology company. This arrangement is something that will help us continue to push the advance of sport science in the United States, as well filling a strong need in high-level collegiate and professional sports teams.

Watch this space, and register here for the event if you have not already. We look forward to seeing you next month!
