Positive Coaching Alliance
The Chicago Public Schools have partnered with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) as we continue to make sportsmanship one of the most important initiatives of our department. PCA provides training, tools, and resources to schools and sports programs across the country in order to cultivate a positive and inclusive youth sports culture. All athletic directors, liaisons and coaches are required to participate in one PCA sportsmanship and leadership workshop a year in order to promote appropriate behavior and best practices.
