2011 Positive Coaching Alliance Meetings
For Coaches, Parents and Players!
Sunday, September 11, 5:30 pm - 7:30pm,
Mustang Soccer Complex,
Door Prizes – Mustang Gear
As Mustang Soccer strives to create a positive environment for our players, coaches, parents, and referees, we continue our commitment to the principles of the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) for the 9th year. These principles are:
- Honoring the Game
- Redefining “Winner”
- Filling the Emotional Tank
Coaches:
We require that all Mustang coaches be PCA Certified. If you have never attended a Double-Goal workshop, then this is the one for you!
If you have attended a Double-Goal workshop in the past, but not within the past 2 years, then you should attend this one as it builds on the foundation of Double Goal principles, provides great practical tools that you can use in practices or games, and serves as a wonderful reminder for the expectations we have of our coaches.
In addition, in this workshop you will pick up lots of great ideas, not just for the soccer field, but for dealing with people young and old. It really is worth your time!
This season’s workshop will be:
Coaches Double-Goal Workshop - Coaching for Winning & Life Lessons. Sunday, September 11, 5:30 pm - 7:30pm, Mustang Soccer Complex, 4680 Camino Tassajara Danville, CA 94506. The Coaches workshop will be upstairs in the meeting room.
Space is limited to 75 coaches, do not sign up unless you are sure you can attend. Please RSVP to our PCA Coordinator, Scott MacDougall using this evite link ( http://new.evite.com/services/links/VLF5HB4EK7 ) so we can insure that we have the right amount of workbooks. We pay for every workbook, whether it is used or not. Help the club save by ordering the right number of books. Every coach attending will get a special edition Mustang PCA t-shirt.
Parents:
Of course, all the Double Goal training we provide to coaches needs to be reinforced on the drive home after the game, so we will continue to give parents a clear understanding of their role as a “Second-Goal” parent, supporting their child so that he or she has a fun, positive experience in sports.
Coaches, please let your parents know that we will also be offering two different “Second-Goal Parent” workshops:
For younger players, Sunday, September 11, Second-Goal Parent Workshops – Youngers 5:30 pm - 6:30pm, Mustang Soccer Complex, 4680 Camino Tassajara Danville, CA 94506. This workshop will be outside under the shade structure on the bleachers. It may become a bit chilly, please bring a jacket.
A workshop geared toward the parents of older players (U14+) will start at 6:30 PM and run to 7:30. Same date, same place. Sunday, September 11, Second-Goal Parent Workshops – Olders 6:30 pm - 7:30pm, Mustang Soccer Complex, 4680 Camino Tassajara Danville, CA 94506. This workshop will be outside under the shade structure on the bleachers. It may become a bit chilly, please bring a jacket.
Who should attend?
We ask that every team sends at least three families who have not already attended a PCA Workshop. You are more than welcome to send more than 3 parents, and should invite all of your parents. But we would like to focus on the several hundreds of parents who have never attended.
Later, we will ask you to give us the names of the parents who will be attending prior to the workshops.
More than 300 parents attended this workshop last year and gave it an overwhelmingly positive review (rating a 4.8 out of 5). This workshop will give parents tools that will help not only as a parent of an athlete, but will help create a strong parent-child relationship, as well!
Thank you for helping to make your child’s experience in Mustang Soccer a positive, memorable one!

High School players (U15 and above) who want to learn how to be ‘Triple Impact Competitors’ should attend our workshop, Same date, same place.
