More Than Units. A Full Certification.
In addition to earning CEUs and PLUs through NatCon and PreCon, attendees can complete a USA Weightlifting Level I Course Certification before the conference—then stay for the full national experience.
Earn units and a recognized certification—at the same event.
National conferences typically allow coaches to earn continuing education units. This goes further—offering a full course certification alongside professional development.
Run by NHSSCA Hall of Fame & Master-Level USAW Coaches.
Decades of coaching, teaching, and implementation experience—delivered in one setting built for real high school constraints.
NHSSCA partnership pricing
USAW Level I cost reduced to $479 (normally $648) through the NHSSCA partnership, with membership and course discounts applied during registration.
That’s $169 in direct savings—nearly the cost of a Professional Member NatCon ticket ($175).
Not a Professional Member?
If you are not currently an NHSSCA Professional Member, registering for the USAW course includes a FREE NHSSCA Professional Membership ($100 value). This allows you to purchase a NatCon Professional Member ticket for $175 instead of the $349 non-member price. Current NHSSCA Professional Members already receive the $175 member ticket price.
