Marksmanship USA is proud to offer the NRA Level 1 Rifle Coach Course, providing aspiring coaches and mentors with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to safely and effectively support athletes in the shooting sports.

This course is taught by Gregg Rice, a member of the NRA Coach Development Staff, Assistant Coach for the U.S. Paralympic Team, one of only two ISSF B-Licensed Rifle Coaches in the United States, and an ISSF B-Licensed Rifle Judge. Drawing from more than two decades of experience working with thousands of athletes—from beginners discovering the sport to Olympic-level competitors—Gregg brings a unique depth of knowledge and perspective to the classroom.

What sets this course apart is Gregg’s integration of the NRA Level 1 Rifle Coach curriculum with principles and techniques from ISSF coach education programs, combined with real-world coaching experience at the highest levels of competition. Participants will gain practical tools for athlete development, communication, safety, training structure, and effective mentorship.

Whether you are beginning your coaching journey or looking to strengthen your skills, this course provides a valuable foundation for becoming a confident, knowledgeable, and effective rifle coach.
