Lower Bucks Lacrosse is very proud of our partnership with the Positive Coaching Alliance. We find the PCA’s mission to be consistent with LBL’s core values, and our commitment to providing the highest quality youth sports experience in our area.
Since PCA's founding at Stanford University in 1998, more than 1,100 schools and YSOs throughout the U.S. and beyond have used their research-based techniques to:
Prepare youth athletes from pre-school through high school for success in life on and off the playing fields
Emphasize character-education and life lessons through sports
Become outstanding educational-athletic programs, creating a shared vision among organizational leaders, coaches, parents and athletes
In partnership with the PCA, our coaches learn the principles of the Double-Goal Coach, whose first goal is winning, and whose second, more-important goal is teaching life lessons through sports.
Parents come to understand what it means to be a Second-Goal Parent, focused on helping youth athletes take life lessons from sports through these techniques in communicating with their children and their coaches.
Finally, leaders of our organization constantly focus on creating an atmosphere where we hone the not only the athletic, but the life skills, of our youth athletes.
