Reminder for all parents and anyone interested in coaching at any level:

The Orcas Island Booster Club is presenting two Positive Coaching Alliance training sessions on March 4 and 5. Each session will be at the Eastsound Fire Hall and will feature Pizza and beverages starting at 5:30, with trainings from 6:00-8:00.

Friday March 4 will feature a training specifically for parents of young athletes and will be focused on how to best support, encourage and create an environment where all athletes can thrive and succeed.

Saturday March 5 will feature a session specifically aimed at helping youth coaches.

We encourage parents who also coach to attend both sessions.

The PCA program focuses on the “whole” athletic experience: Athletes, Coaches and Parents in its approach. The PCA program on Orcas Island is a joint effort of The Orcas Island Booster Club, Orcas Island School District and the Orcas Park and Rec District. Funding for the program is provided through a generous grant from our community through the Orcas Island Community Foundation.

Questions regarding the trainings and to RSPV, please contact OIPRD at 376-7275.
