The National Coaches Education Program (NCEP) certified over 1,100 coaches nationally last year at the Bronze Level.

If you're an active wrestling coach, you need to get NCEP certified! By completing the certification process at the Copper Level, you will receive the Copper Certified Card, and Certificate allowing you to coach at USA Wrestling events across the country. Also, you will receive for future reference the Youth Wrestling Coaches Guide, a $25 value. Coaches who are Copper certified are leaders in the wrestling community and are then encouraged to pursue further education through NCEP by completing the Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels. Once, a coach is Copper certified he/she can attend the National Coaches Colleges held annually. The Coaches College is a five-day intensive study of the sport of wrestling.
