The Orcas Island Booster Club is bringing two specialized Positive Coaching Alliance training sessions to Orcas Island on Friday and Saturday, March 4 and 5. Each session will be at the Eastsound Fire Hall and will feature pizza and beverages starting at 5:30 p.m. with trainings from 6 to 8 p.m.

The training on Friday is for parents of young athletes and will be focused on how to best support, encourage and create an environment where all athletes can thrive and succeed.

The session on Saturday is aimed at helping youth coaches by providing a forum for discussion on the best way to inspire and instill the love of athletics in our youth sports programming. All parents, youth coaches and any interested community members are invited to attend.

The PCA program on Orcas is a joint effort of the Booster Club, Orcas Island School District and Orcas Park and Rec. Funding is provided through a grant from the Orcas Island Community Foundation. Contact OIPRD at 376-7275 for more info.
