Creating a positive environment for our players
The Roadrunners’ has established its partnership with PCA as part of a targeted effort to provide the most positive experience for its athletes and to foster coach and parent education in the community. “Working with hundreds of youth sports organizations around the United States, PCA has developed a number of practical tools and guidelines to help young athletes, their coaches and parents realize that winning is not only reflected in game scores, but also in the effort players give, the learning and improvement they achieve, and the ability they develop to bounce back from mistakes,” said Bob Lemke, President of the Roadrunners Soccer Club. “We’re excited about our ability to bring PCA to our community and help emphasize the importance of a positive club culture for our players, coaches and parents.”
