The Positive Coaching Alliance (www.positivecoach.org) is a nonprofit organization based at the Stanford University Athletic Department. This national organization focuses on creating "a movement to transform the culture of youth sports so that all youth athletes have a positive, character-building experience."
PCA Trainers conduct workshops for youth sports coaches, parents, organizational leaders and athletes. PCA Champions are volunteers who are advocates for creating a positive youth culture in sports.
In addition to support from elite coaches and athletes from professional and olympic sports, PCA has partners, trainers, workshop attendees, National Advisory Board members and thousands of individuals, foundations and corporations leading their movement.
We are thrilled to be PCA Champions and encourage you to make positive choices when guiding your children in youth sports.

_______________________________ Sports Parenting tips on responsibly guiding your child athlete:
*Introduce your child to sports, even if it's your passion. But remember, if they don't like it, you need to look for their passion, not yours.
