Level 3-NTS Coach Certification Practical

Level III - NTS Coach Certification Practical

The USAA Level III-NTS Coach Certification Course includes 1) an online portion (6-8 hrs.) and 2) an in-person practical (16 hrs.).  The online portion is purchased through USA Archery, not Sattva.  Sattva hosts the 16-hour in-person practical.   The Level III curriculum allows candidates to explore coaching pedagogy, movement analysis, motor learning concepts, cognitive and social learning theory, mental skills, advanced instruction on the National Training System (NTS) for recurve and compound, training plans, and more.  If you think you will continue through your Level IV Coach certification at any point in the future, attending the Level III-NTS course at Sattva will provide you with the best foundation possible moving forward.

All the Level III-NTS Certification Courses at Sattva are facilitated by Level IV-NTS Coach and Coach Trainer Kyle Bissell.  Coach Kyle contributed to the new USAA Level III-NTS curriculum content in significant ways. Coach Kyle has coached for 29 years, has a master’s degree in education and is in pursuit of a doctoral degree in motor learning and skill acquisition.  

All Level III-NTS courses at Sattva begin at 2:00 PM EST on a Friday and end at noon the following Sunday to accommodate candidates who may be flying in from other regions. We will meet on Friday from 2-6 PM; Saturday 8-5 PM; Sunday 8 AM-Noon. 

To register for the Sattva practical, candidates must enter this course via USA Archery as well as complete payment via Sattva's website.
