So I just applied for a PT job that involves setting up a fitness program for kids in my area. Is there a specific type of certification that would be better for this than others?

I would imagine some of the kids are playing sports in middle school and want more of a serious training as well.

I know NASM is pretty big time, but slightly expensive. I've looked into ACSM a little also. There are just so many out there.

Also, does anyone know anything about this site:

Thanks for any advice, I appreciate it.
 
IYCA (Internation Youth Conditioning Association) is a training specifically designed for working with kids. They are a pretty great organization and was started by Brian Grasso (who actually used to post on this site many years ago). He has just stepped down, but has left some really amazing people behind to run it. I suggest checking them out for some great ideas on working with kids.
