The YSCA Coach
Inspire and Develop the Next Generation by Becoming a Youth Strength & Conditioning Coach!
Introduction to the YSCA Coach Course
With the growing interest from young athletes to excel in sports, youth training has become a fundamental aspect of coaching.
At Strength & Conditioning Education, we have observed a lack of educational resources in Youth S&C training and have decided to take action!
Our team of mentors have extensive experience working with the young people and we have joined together to create the Youth S&C Coach Course.

With all your learning being delivered by in the trenches practitioners from our experienced coaching team you’ll be fully competent training and coaching young people and able to set yourself up as a Youth Strength and Conditioning Coach at the end of the course.
We will be with you every step of the way to ensure that you have all the skills to begin your rewarding career.

From Our Course Attendees…
Here’s what some of our course attendees had to say about their experience with the YSCA. This is a course which does not provide negatives; it provides the knowledge to allow practical implementation of high quality YSC sessions that will allow young people to achieve their potential whilst having fun and being safe.
The knowledge of the tutors was amazing. Their attention to detail in the course content made it enjoyable and very informative.
Completed Youth S&C Coach in Sheffield and all I can say is WOW.. What a fantastic course. In depth and detailed focus on training our young on mobility and physical competence. Tom and Jason help make the course. I cannot recommend this course highly enough and I’m looking forward to YSCA Specialist.
