Welcome to the Scientific Wrestling's Coaching CACC (CCACC™) certification

The Scientific Wrestling CCACC Program requires the ability to Do It Again; i.e., to meet curriculum performance benchmarks during evaluations after earning the minimum hours of verified training at both Scientific Wrestling CCACC Camps and Pin & Submit Training Camps. Upon 200 hours and staff approval, participants will earn the title Assistant Coach. After 500 hours participants will have earned Scientific Wrestling's full Coach designation.

Each camp counts for 25 hours toward the total requirement. A minimum of 100 of these hours must be at Scientific Wrestling CCACC trainings. Another 50 hours may be earned at either CCACC trainings or Pin & Submit Training Camps and the remaining 50 may be documented by any USA Catch Wrestling/ICWF organization. All participants must be 18 years or older, be in generally good health, and agree to hold themselves soley responsible for any and all injuries sustained while learning CACC or partaking in the CCACC program. Further, it is expected that all CCACC participants will eventually have their own club to coach. Fortunately, our sport only needs two consenting participants, a referee, and a clean wrestling mat.

As a CCACC candidate it will be expected that both you and your athletes are respectful, punctual, and hygienic with regards to any and all grappling related activities. Also, as a participant in the CCACC you will be expected to be an attentive and active student/coach, to communicate openly, to attend all relevant trainings, to learn the given material, and to practice more often than you don't.

Other than that, there are no other requirements beyond paying your dues and putting in the work.
