ASCA Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Coach Accreditation Course
For the first time, sporting coaches and aspiring strength and conditioning professionals across the New England North West will have the opportunity to gain accreditation from the Australian Strength and Conditioning Association (ASCA) without the need to travel, thanks to a two-day course being hosted by the University of New England’s Exercise and Sport Science Department.
On the 3rd and 4th August, 2024, UNE’s Dr Bradley Morris will run the popular ASCA Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Coach Accreditation Course at the UNE Armidale Campus, aimed at anyone interested in broadening their skills in exercise prescription, delivery and sports performance.
FAQs
What will the course involve?
The two-day in-person course is accompanied by a short online component. It will involve participants learning about strength and conditioning and its role in sports performance, with a particular focus on the delivery of gym-based and field-based sessions (training interventions) to boost sports performance and minimise injury risk. This will include the breakdown and instruction of key movements like squats and deadlifts.
Upon completion, attendees will become accredited to design and deliver strength and conditioning interventions to improve the physical performance of local athletes. They will also be able to provide specific strength and conditioning programs to individual and team athletes and practice in a legal volunteer or paid position.
Who will be delivering the course?
Dr Bradley Morris is a Level 3 ASCA coach, a lecturer in Exercise and Sport Science, and has extensive experience working with grassroots through to international athletes, and is excited to bring this rare opportunity to the region.
Who is the course targeted at?
The course is aimed at sporting coaches and aspiring strength and conditioning professionals across the New England North West who wish to become accredited to design and deliver strength and conditioning interventions to improve the physical performance of local athletes.
