Partnering with Positive Coaching Alliance to Promote Positive, Character-Driven Youth Sports

The Timbergrove Sports Association (TSA) is proud to partner with the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) as part of our ongoing commitment to providing a safe, positive, and development-focused youth sports environment.



This partnership ensures that our volunteer coaches, parents, and program leaders have access to high-quality training, research-based tools, and proven coaching principles that elevate the experience for every athlete.

Building Better Athletes – and Better People

At the core of the PCA philosophy is a shared belief that youth sports should be about more than winning. While competition is important, the greater goal is to use sports to teach life lessons, character, and leadership. 



Through this partnership, TSA embraces PCA’s mission of developing:

  • Better Athletes through skill development and competition
  • Better People through character, teamwork, and accountability

Training & Support for Volunteer Coaches

As a volunteer-driven organization, TSA depends on coaches from our community. Through PCA, we equip our coaches with:

  • Research-based coaching education and resources
  • Tools to improve communication, leadership, and athlete development
  • Guidance on building positive team culture
  • Best practices rooted in sports psychology and youth development


PCA provides structured training and resources for coaches, parents, and athletes to ensure a positive youth sports experience. 


This support helps ensure every team is led by coaches who are prepared to teach both the game and the lessons that come with it.

Commitment to Youth Sports Compliance

Youth sports compliance is a cornerstone of TSA’s organization. Our partnership with PCA and TeamSnap supports this commitment by:

  • Reinforcing standards for coach training and development
  • Supporting safe practices and responsible leadership
  • Promoting accountability across programs
  • Aligning coaching behavior with best practices in youth sports


Partnerships that integrate PCA training help organizations ensure safety requirements and coach education are consistently maintained. 


Together, these efforts ensure TSA operates with integrity while prioritizing the well-being of every athlete.

Our Shared Philosophy

TSA and PCA align around a simple but powerful goal:



Create a positive youth sports experience where every athlete can grow, compete, and thrive.


This includes:

  • Developing life skills through sports
  • Encouraging long-term participation and enjoyment
  • Building confident, resilient young athletes
  • Strengthening our community through shared values
