Women's Coaching Alliance is creating a model in the Burlingame, CA community that can scale and be implemented in any community, including those traditionally underserved.
The WCA Model
-
Partner with local sports organizations such as AYSO and Parks & Rec to identify coaching needs for soccer, basketball, flag football, volleyball, softball, cross country teams and beyond.
-
Identify local talent with the help of community leaders, school administrators, and athletic directors who can spot great potential youth coaches.
-
Recruit new coaches and mentors at WCA meet-and-greet events that create WCA community.
-
Train new coaches via video-based learning modules that teach them consistent coaching methodologies, leveraging Positive Coaching Alliance and national sports league content.
-
Establish a supportive framework by pairing coaches with co-coaches and mentors that facilitate meaningful relationships and integrate leadership skill development into coach training.
-
Implement an evaluation process that strengthens our recruiting, training, and mentoring model.
-
Create a path to internships and jobs so WCA coaches can put their new leadership skills to work.
