No matter how many excellent coaches we already have, creating a positive organizational culture requires getting all constituents in our chapter, league or school program to be on the same page. The US Lacrosse-PCA Partnership is a vehicle to help fuel this positive culture.

The US Lacrosse-PCA Partnership helps us create the quality lacrosse programs we all desire, and provides every one of our athletes with a positive learning experience, while also giving leaders, coaches and parent the tools and training needed to play an active role in "Honoring the Game".
 

The National Conversation

US Lacrosse and Positive Coaching Alliance distribute Case Studies periodically to stimulate conversation among youth and high school sports parents, coaches and leaders about the elements of good (and bad) coaching.

If you share our goal that youth athletes receive the best coaching available, help us get these case studies (presented in PDF format) to people you know who are involved with youth sports. Thank you.

• Case Study #9 - Teachable TV
• Case Study #8 - Trophy Time
• Case Study #7 - The Ringers
• Case Study #6 - Collison Course
• Case Study #5 - The Hot-Air Fan
• Case Study #4 - State of Play
• Case Study #3 - Sportsmanship
• Case Study #2 - The Specialist
• Case Study #1 - Old Yeller

 

Positive Coaching Alliance

US Lacrosse and PCA share the following vision: To equip all coaches with the training and tools needed to become "Double-Goal Coaches"™, where goal #1 is striving to win; and goal #2, the more important one, is teaching life lessons via lacrosse. We are working in partnership to make the de facto youth sports culture one in which every member of our lacrosse community ‘Honors the Game’.
