Southern California Youth Weightlifting Association is a registered 501 c(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to the development and promotion of Olympic weightlifting in Southern California.  We exist to advance and develop young athletes by providing opportunities to participate in the sport of Olympic weightlifting.

what we do

Through the generous donations from national and community sponsors, and partnerships with various local organizations, SCYWA is introducing the sport of Olympic weightlifting to Southern California youth through physical education classes, after-school programs, and summer camps.

SCYWA is using the sport of Olympic weightlifting as a vehicle to educate children on the importance of physical fitness and wellness and making exercise a part of their everyday life.  And in the process, identifying and developing potential Olympic hopefuls.

The goal is to make qualified, high-level coaching available and accessible throughout the Southland, improve the quality of training and competition for youth Olympic weightlifters, and increase the number of Southern California athletes who are candidates for National teams.
