Please note that all NEW Squirt and 10U parents (this includes all parent coaches) are REQUIRED to participate in a one hour Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) session this fall. If you attended a PCA Parenting Session last season, you do not need to attend again this season.
PCA is an organization that promotes positive development of youth athletes in all sports. At least one parent of every Squirt player must attend one of the PCA sessions but we encourage all parents to attend if possible. Again, if you attended last season you do not need to attend this season. If you have younger kids coming up, taking this session now will cover you for the younger kids when they hit Squirt/10U as well - but of course you are welcome to take a refresher if desired.
In following with many other metro area hockey associations, the class is mandatory. Your child will not be able to participate in games until you have completed the session.
More details regarding dates/times/locations will be available once we have that information. If you have any questions, please contact SafeSport Coordinator, Brandon Warner - safesport@mplshockey.com. |
