Focuses on winning and life lessons for youth athletes
Shorewood Soccer League has established a partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) to ensure a positive, character-building experience for all youth athletes in Shorewood Soccer programs.
PCA (www.PositiveCoach.org), a Stanford University-based non-profit organization, conducts workshops for coaches, organizational leaders, and parents involved in schools and sports organizations serving five-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 Shorewood Soccer Vice Commissioner and Head of Coaches, Freddy Ponce. “We recognize the tremendous opportunity for character-building sports offers for today’s youth, so we are embracing PCA’s Double-Goal CoachTM model, where winning is one goal and teaching life lessons is the second, more-important goal.”
“We are delighted to partner with Shorewood Soccer,” 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.” The workshops are scheduled to begin this Spring. For information about the dates and locations, please contact sslheadcoach@shorewoodsoccer.org.

Complete scoring info available on Scoring Info page.
After each game day, the score sheet information is compiled and sent to the Herald News to be published in the sports section. This usually happens either Saturday or Sunday - if everything goes right. If travel team results haven't been sent in to the league, this can lead to delays before results are sent in.
