I’ve received a number of
questions since the release of the IYCA Youth Athletic Assessment Specialist
Certification yesterday.

I asked IYCA Co-Owner Pat
Rigsby to answer some of those questions below:
Question: What Is The Youth Athlete Assessment Specialist
Certification?
Answer: This Credential is a product of years
of innovation and current research. The Youth Athlete Assessment
Specialist Certification
combines:
·
The
IYCA’s proprietary Big 5 Movement
Assessment. This Assessment screens 5 different movement patterns that are
commonly deficient in young athletes and allows you to score those patterns to
better identify limitations and asymmetries to better allow you to program
effectively.
·
Sport Specific Testing Batteries. 9 Individualized Sport-Specific
Testing Batteries that will allow you to assess and evaluate performance over
time.
·
Practical Application. The use of specific tools, actual
case studies and real world application to better empower you to implement
testing protocols and serial athletic assessment.
Question: Who Should Get Youth Athletic
Assessment Specialist Certified?
Answer: Any Fitness Professional or Coach who
is developing program for and / or training young athletes should be Youth Athletic Assessment Specialist Certified.
If you’re coaching or training young
athletes that are experiencing any of these challenges, then the Youth Athletic Assessment Specialist
Certification will better equip you to serve those athletes and help you
keep them injury free and performing their best.
Question: How long will it take to complete the
Certification?
Answer: Typically 2-3 weeks is average. If
you have completed other assessment programs, you can likely complete the
program more quickly. When you enroll, you will be given immediate access to
your entire curriculum. You will also be given access to take your
certification exam online.
There are no
additional fees to take your test. You have 365 days following your enrollment
in the YAAS Certification program before you must test.
You’re just a couple short
weeks from adding Certified Youth Athletic
Assessment Specialist to your resume and your toolbox.
