FAIRMONT GRAND DEL MAR, SAN DIEGO

The Positive Coaching Alliance Game Changer Awards & Benefit celebrates the power of youth sports as positive youth development for all kids.

PCA envisions a world where every young person, regardless of social or economic circumstance, benefits from a positive youth sports experience with a coach who inspires them to become the best version of themselves in the game and in life.

Local sports celebrities will honor a coach who was impactful in their life, and we’ll meet our PCA-San Diego Coach of the Year, who is making an incredible impact in our community with local youth.

Individual Event Ticket – $500

This one-of-a-kind event raises awareness and funds to ensure that PCA can continue to:

  • Train, recruit and support tens of thousands of coaches to provide young people with positive, equitable and accessible youth and high school sports experiences.
  • Increase equitable access to youth sports by forging alliances with leaders in under-resourced communities to shape a sports equity agenda tailored to their neighborhoods.
  • Partner with school districts, youth sports organizations, and community-based programs to improve their youth sports culture.
