Clyde Whittemore Little League (CWLL) has established a partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) to ensure a positive, character-building experience for all youth athletes in CWLL and all Waterbury youth programs. PCA, a Stanford University-based non-profit organization, conducts workshops for coaches, organizational leaders, and parents involved in schools and sports organizations serving four-to-18-year-old athletes. PCA also provides workshops for high school athletes.
"Working with hundreds of youth sports organizations around the United States, PCA has developed practical tools and guidelines to help youth athletes, their coaches and parents get the most out of sports," said Joe Greene, Vice President, CWLL. "We recognize the tremendous opportunity for character-building sports offers for today's youth, so we are embracing PCA's Double-Goal Coach model, where winning is one goal and teaching life lessons is the second, more-important goal."
"We are delighted to partner with Clyde Whittemore Little League," said PCA Executive Director Jim Thompson. "Together, we'll strive to help their youth athletes take a positive approach to pursuing victories in athletic competition and in life."
PCA will be offering workshops during CWLL's opening day festivities on May 2. For more information on what PCA is all about visit the PCA website at www.PositiveCoach.org.
