The 10th Annual Strength and Conditioning Student Conference

The Strength and Conditioning Student Conference (SCSC) is an annual event that was first held in 2010.

The conference has three aims:

1. To provide delegates with presentations that address the latest research and practices within the field of strength and conditioning
2. Provide a platform for which students and coaches can showcase their work (typically via poster presentations)
3. Make access to experts, both researchers and practitioners, accessible to all by running on a not-for-profit basis.
