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.
