The National Coaches Education Program (NCEP) certified over 1,100 coaches nationally last year. USA Wrestling's Coaches Education Program is designed to give coaches a foundation of successful coaching principles to enlarge the base of amateur wrestling throughout the country. If you are an active wrestling coach, you need to get NCEP certified! Coaches who are Bronze certified are leaders in the wrestling community and are then encouraged to pursue further education through NCEP by completing the Silver and Gold levels. Once a coach is Bronze certified he/she can attend the National Coaches College held annually. The Coaches College is a five-day intensive study of the sport of wrestling.
