About IYCA
Our vision is simple: To enhance the knowledge of youth sports/fitness professionals, coaches, parents and volunteers throughout the world to ensure that every child has access to an exceptional training experience. We are a family of fitness professionals, coaches, business owners and experts who, together, build a foundation of success in youth fitness and sport performance.
It’s about making a positive impact on the world.
The IYCA is the only organization that stands at the intersection of scientific training principles, coaching/psychological methods that help make a positive impact on young people, and sound business development education. We tackle these important areas through courses, certifications, free information, lives events, mentorships, and personal interactions with our membership.
The main purpose of the International Youth Conditioning Association (IYCA) is to inspire greatness by assisting in the evolution of the youth athletic/fitness industry by regulating the knowledge and skill of the individuals who work within it.
We establish industry norms with respect to safe, effective, and clinically sound means of optimally developing injury-free, emotionally sound, and functionally gifted young athletes and participants. We believe that a Long-Term Athlete Development model allows for greater overall development and enjoyment than early sport specialization.
The IYCA is a wonderful collaboration of passionate professionals from the athletic, sport-science, and sport-medicine communities. Our family includes conditioning professionals, personal fitness trainers, exercise physiologists, athletic trainers, sports medicine professionals, coaches, teachers, fitness and sport facility managers, and students. This group helps to educate coaches on proper training methods and parents on how to develop their children.
The IYCA is a certification-based outfit offering the finest educational certificate programs in the realm of youth athletic development and fitness. Successful candidates must pass both a criminal background check as well as our intensive examination process.
The Global IYCA MISSION
Passion… Excellence… Inspire Greatness
We believe that developmentally-sound, fun, and goal-oriented exposure to fitness and sport is a necessary building block in progressing through the formative years into adulthood.
Our collective passion to recapture the innocence of play and fitness for children and teenagers worldwide knows absolutely no boundaries.
Our mandate is to infuse the fitness and sport-training industry with an excellence in education and world-class resources so that we can all work together to instill proper measures of fitness and sport development training back into the lives of our youngest generation.
Join our cause and become part of the revolution. Together, we can make an impact…
…for the kids.
Yours very sincerely,
The IYCA Team
Core Values
Relentless Pursuit of Growth and Knowledge
As individuals and as a team, we are constantly searching for ways to improve the knowledge, skills, and processes of everyone who is impacted by what we do every day. “Relentless” will always be the only word to describe our quest for self-improvement.
Genuine Dedication to the Success of the IYCA Community
We sincerely care about the people on our team, the people we work with, the partners that we serve, and the people our partners serve. “Faking it” will never be an option.
Deliver Extraordinary Value and Service:
Delivering extraordinary value and service is the constant guiding force in the work we do both inside and outside of our team. Our goal is not just to give someone more than what they need; rather, it is to make them so happy with their decision to be involved with us that they can only say, “Wow.”
Do What We Say We’re Going to Do
Dependability is a sign of strong character and a consistent characteristic of highly respected and successful people both in business and life. Not only do we hold our employees to the highest standard of dependability and accountability, but we also make sure that our company is held to that same standard in the work we do with our clients.
Big Team, Little Me
Teams function best when they are comprised of uniquely talented individuals all working together toward a common goal. At the International Youth Conditioning Association, our employees know that the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts and, as such, will always put forth their best effort in the service of our company’s mission. None of this could be possible without a “We First” mentality.
