Community / A program of Sideline

Every athlete deserves a professional coach.

Sideline Community puts trained strength and conditioning coaches in schools and programs that have none. Sideline coaches run every session. Companies and individuals sponsor the seasons. Clinicians and coaches who take a Sideline course can step onto the floor and assist.

01 / Why it exists

The access gap
is a coaching gap.

Athletes in well-funded programs get a strength coach, a trainer, and a plan. Athletes in under-resourced schools get a weight room with the lights off, if they get one at all. The difference is not talent. It is whether anyone on the floor knows how to train them.

Sideline started because of that gap. Joey Glenn was a high school wrestler who got hurt and got poor rehab. Sideline exists first for the clinicians and coaches who work with athletes, and now for the kids who would never see one.

we're on a mission to close this gap. the community can help.

02 / How it works

Trained coaches.
Funded seasons.

Three parts, one loop. Sideline coaches run the program, sponsors fund the seasons, and course participants assist on the floor.

01 · Coach

Sideline coaches run it

Every session is run by a Sideline coach: credentialed, experienced, and paid for their time. The program is theirs. Course participants can assist them on the floor.

02 · Fund

Sponsors fund a season

Companies put marketing dollars behind a team. Individuals sponsor an athlete. Every tier is tied to coaching hours, not overhead.

03 · Train

Sessions run on the floor

Twice-weekly strength and conditioning at the school or a host facility, with a plan, a Sideline coach in charge, and assistants when we have them.
