Coaching Performance Index Championship

Welcome to NSCA Index Competitions

You do not need to be an NSCA member or purchase anything to participate in the NSCA Index Competitions. Coaches test athletes at their own facility, download an excel template and submit test data. The top 10 males and top 10 females are invited to compete in a face to face National Index Championship in Colorado Springs. The winning male and female are invited to the International Invitational in July to compete against athletes from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, and Canada.

The NSCA Index Competition includes the Vertical Jump, Pro-Agility Run, 10-yard Dash, and the Hang Clean.  The NSCA index is based on performance with body weight taken into consideration with a separate Index for boys and girls.

 

How to get your athletes involved
Test your athletes, enter their scores into the excel template provided in the Competition Section and send them via email to Jake Wurth at jwurth@nsca-lift.org.
