A nearby weightlifting club is running a level 1 coaching course on May 23rd right here in the Metro-area of Portland – specifically in Vancouver (known as “the ‘couve”). It’s being organized by Bridget Raach, and the coach will be Harvey Newton.
It’s a good certification to get if you have any interest in coaching weightlifting at any level (or if you just want a quick crash course in how to lift correctly). This includes strength coaches who never plan on coaching competitive weightlifters but would like to be better at coaching the clean and snatch to their athletes – which should be ALL strength coaches! 
Dates: Saturday, May 22nd, 8AM – 6:15 PM and Sunday, May 23rd, 8 AM – 3:30 PM
Location: Crossfit Fort Vancouver, 1901 East 5th St., Unit D, Vancouver, WA 98661
Registration: USA Weightlifting
When will there be another usaw cert. class. in Oregon or Washington.
thanks Ryan
Good question. It probably won’t be any time soon, to tell you the truth.
Registration link does not work.
That’s because this was for May of 2010. If another one pops up, though, I’ll make sure to post it.
