Positive Coaching Alliance
Positive Coaching Alliance was established at Stanford University in 1998.  PCA believes that winning is a goal in youth sports but that there is a second, more important goal of using sports to teach life lessons through positive coaching. Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) provides practical tools for coaches, parents and leaders who operate youth sports programs to get them on the same page about what it means to Honor the Game.

In the United States , youth are dropping out of sports at an alarming rate. A major contributing factor is the "win at all cost" mentality of many parents and coaches that creates a pressure filled environment for the kids and ultimately turns them away from sports. According to Michigan State University 's Institute for the Study of Youth Sports, children participating in organized sports tend to achieve higher results in school, develop excellent interpersonal skills and lead healthier lives.

The National Alliance For Youth Sports (NAYS) is America 's leading advocate for positive and safe sports and activities for children. The goal of the National Alliance For Youth Sports is to make sports and activities safe and positive by providing programs and services that add value to youth sports.
