March 30, 2019, Saturday - Free Positive Sports Parenting Workshop at Northeast Recreation Center

Time: Noon and 1 pm

Location: Northeast Recreation Center, 1530 Johnson Street NE

Free Positive Sports Parenting Workshop

Parents and Guardians impact their children’s lives like no other people can…in sports as in every other aspect. Parents and Guardians, even those millions who coach their own kids, do best by their children when focusing on sports as a developmental opportunity, rather than a do-or-die, win-at-all-cost proposition.

This Free 45-min workshop will guide parents in:

  • Assessing their children’s goals and desires in youth sports in comparison with their own
  • How to talk with your child about practices, games and what they are learning through sports
  • How to enact and reinforce PCA’s major principles: Mastery of Sport (Not Just Scoreboard Results), which values effort, learning and bouncing back from mistakes and adversity
  • Filling Emotional Tanks, with the correct mix of truthful, specific praise and constructive criticism
  • Honoring the Game through appropriate sideline behavior and interaction with coaches. 

Parents attending any of these workshops receive a copy of Positive Sports Parenting by PCA Founder Jim Thompson.

Space is limited! All attendees will receive Mn Twins Baseball game tickets!  Register today
