We urge you to make your voice heard in this National Conversation on Coaching. Why a Conversation? Because, explains PCA Founder and Executive Director Jim Thompson:

"If we can get people all over the country talking about what constitutes good (and bad!) coaching, we are more likely to create a positive, character-building environment for all youth and high school athletes."

PCA thanks the Morgan Family Foundation for the grant that enables our National Conversation on Coaching, which is occuring here, in the news media, and face-to-face among millions of parents and coaches at fields, gyms and pools nationwide...all in the name of transforming youth sports so sports can transform youth.
