San Diego Game Changer Awards & Benefit 2024

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.

We’re excited to hear from these local sports celebrities as they share their stories of impact in sports.
