Positive Coaching Alliance
In 2001, US Lacrosse began a partnership with the Stanford University-based Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). PCA was formed with the goal of changing the culture in youth sports to improve the experience of athletes at all ages, with the mission of “transforming youth sports so sports can transform youth,” and the partnership enforces the idea that participants and spectators alike must “honor the game.” Get more information on the partnership and the PCA.
