09.07.2016

Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA)  a national non-profit developing “Better Athletes, Better People” through resources for youth and high school sports – is partnering with Coach Evaluator, the premier coach evaluation software for schools and athletic organizations.

The agreement names Coach Evaluator as PCA’s official coach evaluation partner and a PCA Trusted Resource.

“Evaluating coaches is key to a youth and high school sports experience that helps young athletes reach their potential as players and as people,” said Jason Sacks, PCA’s National Director of Business Development. “Coach Evaluator provides an outstanding system for identifying coaches’ strengths, so that they can be encouraged to continue and expand on all they are doing well, as well as identifying areas in which a coach can improve.”

Coach Evaluator is a web-based application that can be accessed anywhere and provides a fully customizable end-to-end digital process for creating, conducting, approving and tracking coach evaluations year after year.

PCA's great reputation, experience and resources in helping develop coaches along with the Coach Evaluator software solution and delivery platform is a great combination to help league administrators and school athletic directors in the overall evaluation process of coaches. We are very excited to align with PCA and look forward to growing the evaluation platform while working together.
