PCA Connector

As part of a targeted effort to provide the most positive environment possible for its youth athletes, FUSA is sponsoring a coaches workshop in conjunction with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) on Saturday, October 3rd from 10am-1pm. PCA, a Stanford University-based non-profit organization, works with coaches, organizational leaders and parents to teach young athletes not only how to win, but also how to learn about teamwork, discipline, respect and goal-setting through their sports experience.
The two-hour session, to be given at Roger Ludlowe Middle School Team Room, provides coaches with tools they can use to become Double-Goal Coaches™ (coaches who want to both win and develop the character of their players). The importance of a 'team-first' attitude figures heavily in this workshop, as do messages such as fostering internal motivation and forming a partnership with players. It's a comprehensive session, and FUSA coaches will learn tips they can implement in their very next practice.

Two-minute Drills

During a PCA Leadership Roundtable Call, Bruce Horowitz -- co-founder of 2007 National Youth Sports Award Winner Beverly Hills Basketball League (BHBL) -- explained how message bombardment fuels the league's full implementation of its Positive Coaching initiative.

Bruce spoke of "2 minute drill" e-mails that he regularly sends to parents and coaches, highlighting nuggets of PCA wisdom. His aim: Sharing enough PCA principles with enough people that Honoring the Game becomes the cultural norm.

PCA has borrowed the "2 minute drill" from BHBL and will produce a new "drill" each month for both parents and coaches. See below for "2 minute drills" for coaches, players and coaches.
