Thank you for considering NHSSCA to publish your original article. Please submit your work using the Article Submission Form. Before you complete the form, please review the following guidelines that detail the specifications before you submit any work.

Guidelines

• Incorporate any appropriate images, photos, or charts into the form. When you send them, please let us know where they should be placed in the article. We can supply photos from our picture library if you do not need article-specific pictures.
• Videos must be at least 720p and horizontally shot (landscape mode using your smartphone). Videos cannot contain promotions or advertisements of any kind. Please insert video links where they should appear in the article.
• Wait to follow up on an article after it’s submitted. If we use your article, you’ll receive an email telling you when it’s scheduled. Sometimes articles take up to two to three months to get published. You will be notified if we plan to use something other than your article.

Content

• In the spirit of the NHSSCA’s mission, these articles intend to equip, empower, and educate. Therefore, article topics can include (but are not limited to the following): training, skills (e.g., agility, speed), coaching, recovery, sleep, athlete testing, team management, biomechanics, mental preparation, injury prevention and rehabilitation, weight training, planning, periodization, equipment, and technology may be discussed.
• Typical articles range from 1500-2500 words. Shorter or longer articles may also be considered.
• We will proofread your submission for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Authors should check their work for mistakes, but don’t worry if your writing isn’t perfect. Our editors will make it perfect.
• No press releases, advertisements, sales letters, promotional copy, or blatant and excessive self-promotion or hype are allowed in articles.
• You’ll need to submit new, original work. It should not have been published anywhere else, including another blog. The reason is for SEO purposes. Articles written on other pages hurt our (and the other website’s) Google rankings.
• Articles published on the NHSSCA’s website remain the exclusive property of NHSSCA. They may not be republished, repurposed, or replicated for use on other websites or platforms without NHSSCA’s prior permission.
• All images and video clips you provide NHSSCA for your article must be your property.
  
  

Formatting

• If your article contains special characters and/or symbols, they may need to be recovered during publication. Additionally, headers and footers will not be retained. We also maintain the right to change your article’s title for SEO and content purposes.
• We use introductions, sub-headers, and conclusions in each of our articles. While we reserve the right to insert our subheading titles, please title each section of your article and conclude with a viable conclusion.
• Please make sure to source all sources, quotes, statistics, etc. If you use sources, quotes, statistics, etc., include a hyperlink to the original source material (if possible) or a list of references at the end of the document. When referencing a work, include all pertinent information such as author(s) name, publication year, volume number, page number(s), publisher, and publisher’s location.
  
  

Closing Remarks

• The NHSSCA reserves the right to accept or reject any article based on quality, appropriateness, and editorial judgment.
• We appreciate photos and videos of, or by, you demonstrating the unique exercises or techniques in your article. However, you must have the rights to the photo and/or video. You will bear any legal costs incurred due to its use if you submit a photo and/or video for inclusion with your article that you do not own.

By submitting an article, you grant NHSSCA perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license(s) to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display your post (in whole or in part) as well as to incorporate your comments into other works, whether they are now known or later developed.
