TeamSnap Expands Successful Partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance Organizations to partner on programs that improve access to sports for underserved athletes and coaches






TeamSnap, the industry-leading sport management platform, announced today they are expanding its nine year partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) – a national nonprofit dedicated to providing a positive, character-building experience for youth athletes in all communities across the United States.



The expanded partnership with PCA is part of TeamSnap’s $1 Million commitment to improve access to sport for underserved youth athletes. Going forward, TeamSnap will provide funding and promotion opportunities for numerous PCA inclusion programs. This includes the acclaimed Sports Can Battle Racism education program along with the Million Coaches Challenge which includes PCA committing to train more than 400,000 coaches over the next four years, with a focus on underserved communities.



“We believe that all youth can benefit from a positive, inclusive sports culture that develops social and emotional skills, molds character and prepares them for competition and for life,” said Jason Sacks, PCA Executive Vice President, Business Development & Philanthropy. “TeamSnap has been an incredible leader in youth sport and been a true champion in helping kids return to play safely. We are thrilled to have such an engaged partner that shares our vision and commitment.”



“At TeamSnap, we believe the transformative power of sport should be accessible to everyone, so we’re giving time, money and service to help break down the barriers that stand between athletes and the power of play. Our expanded partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance allows us to do just that,” said Desiree Jewell, Director of Marketing, TeamSnap.



TeamSnap will also be the presenting sponsor of PCA’s prestigious Double-Goal Coach Award. Now in its 20th year, the Double-Goal Coach Award is one of the highest honors a U.S. youth sports coach can receive. Nominations are now open through to November 30, 2020.
