| 2007 University Village Hosts Positive Coaching Alliance Workshop for Parents Saturday, November 17th from 2-4 pm University Village Community Center --------Four Corners Room 1123 Jackson St. Albany, CA Free for parents of University Village Rec. Program participants or $5 for guests As part of a targeted effort to provide the most positive environment possible for its youth athletes, University Village Recreation is sponsoring a coaches workshop in conjunction with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) on November 4th. PCA, a Stanford University-based non-profit organization, works with coaches, organizational leaders and parents to more effectively teach young athletes not only how to win, but also how to learn about teamwork, discipline, respect and goal-setting through their sports experience. The two-hour session, to be given at University Village Community Center, 1123 Jackson Street in Albany, teaches parents how to best support their kids in sports. “It addresses how parents can help coaches and league administrators establish and maintain a positive competitive environment,” says Dawn Martin-Rugo, Director of Recreation at University Village. “The workshop also gives parents tips for discussing occurrences in college and professional sports with their kids to bring out life lessons,” she adds. All parents of children involved in competitive sports are invited. University Village Recreation is sponsoring the workshop, so admission is free (or $5 for guests if you wish to have a workbook). For additional information or to register for the event, please contact University Village Recreation at 510-524-4926 or email us at uvrec@berkeley.edu.
