IUSCA

🇺🇸 CELEBRATING OUR 2026 USA VOLUNTEER PLACEMENTS This year, students from across our university network have gained hands-on experience within NCAA Division I strength and conditioning programmes in the United States. At IUSCA, we're committed to developing capable, confident S&C practitioners. Academic achievement is important, and so is learning how to coach, communicate and make decisions in real performance environments. Our USA Volunteer Placement Programme gives students the opportunity to learn alongside experienced NCAA coaches, work with student-athletes and develop the applied competence and professional judgement reflected in the IUSCA International Qualification Framework (IQF). We're proud to work with placement hosts including Colorado, Quinnipiac, Northwestern, Pitt, UCLA, CSUN, Portland, Arizona State, NJIT, UMass, USC, Cal State Fullerton and Washington. Students from universities including our IUSCA Accredited Degree partners at Leeds Beckett, Lincoln, St Mary's, Cardiff Met, Portsmouth, Edinburgh and Liverpool John Moores have benefited from these international opportunities. These placements are made possible by global collaboration. Our US partners provide high-quality learning environments and mentorship, while welcoming motivated emerging coaches who contribute to their performance programmes. A huge thank you to our hosts and university partners, and congratulations to all our 2026 placement students. We're proud to support your development. 📸 A selection of moments from this year's placements. Interested in future opportunities? Learn more at iusca.org/placements
