Newton Girls Soccer Club is proud and very excited to announce its partnership with the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). The mission of the Positive Coaching Alliance which is a national nonprofit organization is to develop “Better Athletes, Better People” by working to provide all youth and high school athletes a positive, character-building youth sports experience.
Since its 1998 launch at Stanford University by Founder and CEO Jim Thompson, PCA has impacted more than 5 million youth athletes. PCA reaches youth and high school sport leaders, coaches, athletes, parents, and officials through partnerships with school and youth sports organizations nationwide that comprise live workshops, online courses, Thompson’s books and e-communications, providing free tips and tools.
PCA’s Goals are:
Newton Girls Soccer will be implementing the PCA Double-Goal Coach philosophy using it as vehicle to help fuel this positive culture. The program will help us create the quality soccer program we all desire, and provide every one of our players with a positive learning experience, while giving leaders, coaches and parents the tools and training needed to play an active role in “Honoring the Game”. As a club we intend to adhere to the principles of Double-Goal Coaching throughout our club:
This policy recognizes that certified Double-Goal Coaches are paramount to transforming the culture of youth sports and demonstrates our commitment to helping our coaches succeed, while offering all youth athletes a positive, character-building experience. (Jim Thompson, Founder/Executive Director Positive Coaching Alliance, 8/2/2011)
