The New Jersey Scholastic Coaches Association, which came into existence in September 1994, was developed as a means of perpetuating the finest ideals of coaching and expanding communication between coaches throughout the state.
There are three vital groups that help the NJSCA maintain and improve the growth of membership. These include the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, the State Coaches Association Sport Representatives and the present membership. The positive working relationship between these groups has been a major factor in making it a win-win situation. The State Coaches Association follows its own strategies as well as coordinating efforts with the State Athletic Association.
