In July 2018, the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) announced that by 2030 (target date) the eligibility for the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist® (CSCS®) examination will require candidates to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in a strength and conditioning related field, from a program accredited by an NSCA-approved accrediting agency. The development of the NSCA approved accrediting agency is currently underway and is expected to be fully functional by 2021, with the first program targeted to be accredited in 2022.

The primary responsibilities of the NSCA Board are to oversee the activities of the Association, to set goals, and to provide the means to accomplish these goals in accordance with the Mission Statement and the needs of the membership.

Reporting to the Sr. Director of Membership and Business Development, the Business Development Coordinator’s primary responsibilities are to contribute to the implementation and growth of programs and services for NSCA’s coaching, personal training, tactical, and sport science audiences. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential job functions.

The NSCA Conference Committee and local leadership invite the submission of presentations for TSAC Annual Training. Please note, all presentations must be delivered in English.

Each NSCA SIG has an executive council composed of a chair and at least two members. Applications are accepted from October 1 to December or January 15 annually. Check back during the application window for information on open positions.

Every three years, we conduct an audit of NSCA certified individuals who have completed the recertification process. We require each randomly selected certificant to share documentation that shows proof of compliance with recertification requirements.

Build your professional opportunities and invest in the future growth of the NSCA through volunteer leadership positions.

The Tactical Strength and Conditioning Professional of the Year Award is awarded to the coach, researcher, tactical professional, educator, or administrator whose influential contributions to the field measurably result in its advancement in a way that exceeds the outcomes achieved by others.
