POSITIVE COACHING ALLIANCE

 

Beginning in 2023 Canton City Schools partnered with Positive Coaching Alliance. The partnership provides Canton City Schools access to PCA’s training for coaches, sports parents, student-athletes, and administrators, through live group workshops, online courses, and additional online resources, such as follow-up tips and reminders for using sports as a positive youth development tool.

 PCA has partnered with roughly 3,500 schools, districts, conferences, youth sports organizations, and park-and-rec departments to create a Development Zone® culture, with the goal of using youth and high school sports to create a positive youth sports experience. "We look forward to working with Canton City Schools to create the best possible sports experience for their student-athletes,” said Positive Coaching Alliance President Jason Sacks. “We appreciate the district leadership making a positive high school sports experience a priority for all involved, including student-athletes, coaches, and parents. When sports are done right, we know it can be an amazing opportunity not only to strive to win but more importantly, teach life lessons that will stay with our youth long after their playing days are over.”

“Positive Coaching Alliance is in alignment with our vision for high quality athletic experiences that connect our families to our schools in a meaningful way from youth athletics through high school. We are thankful for their support and partnership as we work towards first class facilities hosting first class programs lead by first class people. We are excited for the opportunities this partnership creates for our students.”

Cavs Youth Basketball

Canton City Schools has partnered with the Cleveland Cavaliers Jr. Cavs Program to bring high quality basketball instruction to our students and the area. Our winter leagues are dedicated to goals of having our youth athletes learn to love the game and be winners on and off the court. High quality instruction and positive coaching interactions are modeled and incorporated through resources and clinic opportunities that this partnership provides.

Cavs Youth Coach

The Cavs Youth Sports team serves to inspire play by using the game of basketball to motivate the youth in our community to be active, make championship choices on and off the court, and build confidence in what they can accomplish through sport. They serve youth of all skill levels ages 4-14 and offer a variety of programming including Cavalittles Clinics, Cavs Academy camps and clinics, Jr. Cavs community rec leagues, and the Cavs Elite High School Hoops series at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
