POSITIVE COACHES ALLIANCE TRAINING COMPLETED IN TAMPA - MAY 14-15 2010- THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE PARENTS,COACHES AND ADMINISTRATORS FOR MAKING TIME TO ATTEND THE PCA WORKSHOPS. THE CONSENSUS WAS THAT EVERYONE APPRECIATED THE "HONOR THE GAME" MESSAGE. PCA SENT WILL JACKSON FROM ATLANTA TO PRESENT THE DOUBLE GOAL WKSHOPS--THANKS WILL!!! ALL IN ALL, WE NEED EVERYONE INVOLVED IN SPREADING THE WORD THAT LACROSSE IS A STEP UP WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER SPORTS. WE WANT TO WIN...AND THEN WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT OUR BOYS AND GIRLS ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE AND LEARN FROM THEIR COACHES. -ONE OF THE KEYS TO THE TRAINING WAS- 70% OF CHILDREN QUIT PLAYING SPORTS BY THE AGE OF 13- WE NEED TO MAKE THE SPORT FUN...SO THEY STAY INVOLVED!

WE ARE LOOKING TO BRING WILL JACKSON BACK TO FLORIDA IN THE FALL. -WE NEED PROGRAMS TO COORDINATE THIS 90 MINUTE TRAINING DURING THEIR REGISTRATION DAY...IT ENSURES EVERYONE CAN PARTICIATE.
