NC Youth Weightlifting Organization

The North Carolina Youth Weightlifting Organization (NCYWO) is dedicated to bringing the sport of Olympic style Weightlifting into all NC high schools, both public and private. To this end, NCYWO, in conjunction with USA Weightlifting (USAW), will provide USAW coaching training/certification to any potential or current high school weightlifting coach. After successful completion of the training course, coaches will possess official USAW coaching certification. USAW will then work with newly certified coaches to create a USAW weightlifting club at their respective schools. Additionally, the NCYWO will continue to support coaches by providing the following to coaches and clubs: programming for students-athletes, resources for equipment, organizational support for competition planning, informational seminars at schools, and whatever else the schools may need assistance in.
