QCMBL is proud to be a Positive Coaching Alliance Partner
Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) is a nonprofit organization based at Stanford University with the mission to transform youth sports so sports can transform youth. PCA was created to transform the culture of youth sports to give all young athletes the opportunity for a positive, character-building experience. We have three major goals:
1. To replace the "win-at-all-cost" model of coaching with the "Double-Goal Coach" who wants to win but has a second, more important, goal of using sports to teach life lessons;
2. To teach youth sports organization leaders how to create an organizational culture in which Honoring the Game is the norm; and
3. To spark and fuel a "social epidemic" of Positive Coaching that will sweep this country.
There are many people in North America who want to change the culture of youth sports, but they do not feel equipped to do so. Positive Coaching Alliance has developed practical tools to change the culture of youth sports and is making them available to coaches, parents, league organizers and others who will fire this movement.
Said JimThompson, founder and director of Positive Coaching Alliance, "We're excited that Queen City Box Lacrosse in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada recognizes the tremendous potential sports participation offers for today's youth and is stepping up to realize that potential by emphasizing a positive club culture for their players, coaches, and parents."
