After much deliberation due to the high quality of so many nominees, PCA is proud to announce the 50 finalists for our Double-Goal Coach® Awards Presented by Liberty Mutual Insurance.
Each finalist will receive a commemorative certificate. Our 20 award winners from throughout the U.S. – which PCA will announce in mid-February -- will receive a stunning trophy, 250 dollars and appearances in PCA's media campaigns, website and e-mail newsletters. Follow along by subscribing to our Momentum e-newsletter! If you have questions about the Double-Goal Coach Awards program, please contact PCA's Sonja DeWitt.
Congratulations to all those named below for serving youth in their communities through the Double-Goal Coach model of pursuing both wins and the even more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports.
