Positive Coaching Alliance
PMYC is very excited to announce that we will be partnering with the Phoenixville Parks and Rec Department and Positive Coaching Alliance over the next year to enhance the mission of PMYC Sports and other Phoenixville area sports leagues. PCA is a national non-profit who helps develop “Better Athletes, Better People” through resources for youth and high-school sports coaches, parents, administrators and student-athletes.
PMYC is very grateful to our volunteer coaches, who work so hard to help provide positive experiences for over 700 Phoenixville kids. We understand how tough it is to be a coach and are always looking for ways to provide extra support and resources to our coaches so we all can offer positive and rewarding experiences.

Positive Coaching Alliance
As a catalyst for a positive youth sports culture, Positive Coaching Alliance provides research-based training and resources for coaches, parents, athletes, and leaders to ensure a positive youth development experience for ALL kids, in all communities across the U.S., through sports. PCA ensures sports are ‘done right’ with programming that is research-based and designed to have impact at three levels in a youth sports organization or school:
-
YOUTH experience improved life skills and character development.
-
COACHES become more positive and increase their focus on using sports to teach life lessons.
-
YOUTH SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS AND SCHOOLS see their cultures become more positive and everyone involved has more fun.
PCA believes that all youth can benefit from a positive, inclusive sports culture that develops social and emotional skills, molds character, and prepares them for competition and life. In more than two decades of work, PCA expanded from a small local nonprofit to a strong, nationwide organization that provides programming in all 50 states, reaching thousands of organizations around the country and positively impacting millions of youth athletes every year. PCA has now partnered with roughly 3,500 schools and youth sports organizations nationwide to deliver more than 20,000 live group workshops, reaching over 20 million youth.
