What is Clean, Squat & Press?

Clean, Squat & Press is a grassroots initiative from USA Weightlifting that introduces school-aged athletes to Olympic-style lifting in a fun, accessible format. We believe strength starts with Olympic-style lifting. In partnership with high school strength coaches and USA Weightlifting certified coaches, this program engages student-athletes across sports - teaching and testing their strength with a barbell and introducing them to the sport of Olympic weightlifting.

We want next!

If you are a high school coach (strength and conditioning coach or sport-specific coach) interested in bringing this program to your school, or a certified USAW coach with high school relationships you would like to connect us to for potentially activating this program, let us know by contacting us at events@usaweightlifting.org. We are currently running test programs in 2026 with a goal of adding new program locations in 2027.
