I know how frustrating it can be to have to sift through all of the information out there and decide what works and what doesn’t. It’s confusing and almost always leads to less than optimal programs and athletes that don’t reach their potential. But it’s not your fault. And I know because I was there just like you – and it’s not your fault when all you’ve been given are a bunch of drills and no real system of teaching.

In short, CASC Certified Coaches are able to not only make their athletes faster…they are able to help their athletes translate that speed to on the field or court improvement.
If you’re interested in becoming such a Coach, then I have something just for you…
The Brand New Certified Speed & Agility Coach™ Certification Course: Speed & Agility Education for Elite Coaches.
The Certified Speed & Agility Coach™ Course trains you to improve the speed & agility of any athlete from any sport — whether beginner or advanced. We’ve designed the certification’s hands-on information, strategies, and drills for you to use immediately in your own programming.
First, we teach you the foundational concepts of speed & agility training. If you need to know it as a coach, we teach it in the certification.
Then, we teach you exactly how to apply this information to your work in the gym or in practice to optimize your athletes’ performance.
You’ll learn a system for improving the speed & agility or your athletes that translates to their on the field or on the court performance – regardless of age or sport.
No other speed education program has that focus. I can tell you that because if there was, I would have taken it myself.
A little backstory: how we developed the certification program, and why.
The CSAC Certification is actually born of a need I’ve learned from years providing the leading speed education resources for coaches…and from being a coach myself.
See over the years there has been an explosion of information on coaching speed available to coaches. And with this growth of information, much of it from people who’ve never actually coached, has come confusion from coaches as to what is actually proven and valuable when it comes to improving their athletes’ performance.
So I set out to find a solution to this specific problem: how to ensure that a coach could not only know where to find information on speed & agility they could trust, but also know that they were ready to apply that information effectively with their athletes.
That’s why I wanted to do this certification.
I want to help coaches know that they were not just cobbling together random drills and concepts in hopes of improving the speed & agility of their athletes – instead they were expert practitioners of a proven system to deliver results that translate to the field or court.
Ten years ago, the NSPA created it’s first Certified Speed & Agility Coach course. We filmed, edited, created the manual, etc. at the end of 2015 and released it at the beginning of 2016.
It’s crazy that it has been about 10 years since we released CSAC, but during that time it was the first, and the best selling speed & agility certification out there!
I’m very proud of what we created, but as with everything, it’s finally time for an updated version. And not just an updated version, a totally brand new, cutting edge info on speed & agility development.
We brought in one of the top speed coaches around because we want to continue to have the top latest & greatest training available. There is no better resource!

The exam isn’t “tricky,” but it does require that you know the information if you want to pass. A passing grade is 80, and you can take the test twice (for a max total of 2 attempts). If you do not receive a passing grade after your third attempt, you will be required to go back through the module prior to taking the test again.
The exam is untimed, and consist of 75 multiple-choice and true/false questions. Allow 60 to 90 minutes to complete the exam. Ideally the exam should be taken in one sitting, however, your answers are saved if you need to come back and finish at a later time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: “What if I don’t want the certification, just the information from the course?”
A: Simple, register for the CSAC course, and don’t take the test. I know not everyone need the initials after their name, but still wants the education, so you are not required to take the test at the end (you must take the test though if you want to be certified).
Q: “How is the CSAC different than other speed certifications?”
A: The NSPA has been the leader in speed development education for the past 10 years. We actually had the original speed development certification. Coaches from all over the world have been using our speed course information. Joining forces with the man, the myth, the legend, Les Spellman, makes this course the best around, improving on what was already an amazing certification. Les has been coaching speed & agility at all levels, from youth to professionals, and is the most sought after Speed Expert in the World (just ask around). This Coaching Certification is what we actually use with our athletes to evaluate and develop their speed. This is what we teach our coaches that work for us and what we base our speed camps and speed programs around. It dives deep into how to be a better speed & agility development coach. So, pretty much to answer your question, we do speed. It has been our focus at the NSPA for 10 years and Coach Spellman’s focus for his career. We don’t dabble and put out a bunch of different random certifications that we think people will buy. We do what we do best – educate other coaches how to get their athletes faster and better prepared. Little known fact: We have seen most speed programs around and feel very strongly that you will be happy with the CSAC and agree with us about it being the best speed & agility certification around.
Q: “Why did you create a new Speed & Agility certification?”
A: Our original speed certification was created in 2015. It’s crazy that it has been 10 years since we released CSAC, but in that time it was the first, and the best selling speed & agility certification out there! I’m very proud of what we created, but as with everything, it’s finally time for an updated version. And not just an updated version, a totally brand new, cutting edge info on speed & agility training. We brought in one of the top speed coaches, Les Spellman, around because we want to continue to have the top latest & greatest training available. There is no better resource!
Q: “What if I fail? Am I allowed to retake the test?”
A: Yes, you make take the test up to 2 times. After 2 failed attempts, you will be required to retake the class (which you can do for free just contact us to be set up and so we can see how we can help you understand the material better).
Q: “How will this certificate help me?”
A: It depends on who you are… If you’re a coach – this Certification will give you the knowledge to make all of your athletes better. Much, much better. It separates yourself and your athletes from your competition. If you’re a fitness professional – this Certification will empower you to deliver the one thing athletes need more than anything else to be successful – SPEED! This means more clients and a better business because you will be positioned as the speed expert in your area.
Q: “How long does it take to finish the course and receive my certification?”
A: This class is over 6 hours hours of video training, so if you are working at it full-time you could technically complete the course and take all the tests in one day (although this is not recommended). To fully understand and apply the materials, you should allow 7-14 days in order to fully grasp the material.
Q: “How is the CSAC Course Delivered?”
A: The Certified Speed & Agility Coach™ Course is a digital course and will be entirely online (nothing will be shipped to you). Once you enroll, you will be given access to all of the material in our secure members area where you will be able to start the course on your own time, at your own pace.
Q: “Do I need CEU’s to keep this certification?”
A: No. You are not required to get CEU’s to keep this credential. You earned it after you took the test. If you go through this course and pass the test, you the have information available to be a great speed coach.
Q: “Am I guaranteed to get certified if I take the class?”
A: No. A certification that can simply be purchased isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. That’s why our course is challenging. If we’re going to allow you to carry the CSAC Certification Credential, you better believe you’re going to have to earn it.
Q: “How difficult is the test?”
A: You’ll find that the test is “satisfyingly difficult.” By that I mean, it’s difficult enough that you need to actually know the materials, but it isn’t tricky or difficult just for the sake of being difficult. That said, to preserve the exclusivity and importance of this designation, we have made the tests challenging and the questions do pertain to our proprietary coaching methodologies, so you shouldn’t expect to be able to pass the test just because you have taken other speed courses or feel like you understand speed development. This training is different, and the exams will reflect those differences.
Q: “Why do I need this CSAC Certification?”
A: The answer is simple. If you coach athletes or train athletes that participate in a sport that requires speed & agility – the answer is yes. It doesn’t matter if you work with soccer players, baseball players, football players or any other young athletes. If their sport performance is even partially dictated by their speed or agility, than this is a must have Certification. It will help you separate yourself from the competition.
Q: “How valuable is this certification?”
A: The certification itself is highly valuable if you need to set yourself apart from the competition. What’s far more valuable than any badge or certification, however, is the actual knowledge you’re going to receive when you take this course and pass all the tests. You will know how to develop speed & agility in your athletes and you’ll be able to help them take that speed & agility on to the field or the court.
Q: “How long do I have to complete the class and take the test once I am enrolled?”
A: You can move at your own pace! We understand that life happens, and that just because you enroll today that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to finish (or even start) the class this week. And that’s ok! Take as long as you like. We aren’t going anywhere, and neither is this certification.
