ZEBULON, N.C. (March 16, 2026) – The Town of Zebulon Parks and Recreation has established a partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), a national nonprofit working to provide youth and high school athletes with a positive, character-building sports experience.
The partnership provides the Town of Zebulon Parks and Recreation access to PCA’s training for coaches, sports parents, student-athletes, and administrators through live group workshops, online courses, and additional online resources, including follow-up tips and reminders for using sports as a positive youth development tool.
PCA has partnered with over 3,500 schools, districts, conferences, youth sports organizations, and Parks and Recreation departments to create a Positive Youth Sport Culture, with the goal of using youth and high school sports to create a character-building youth sports experience.
"We look forward to working with the Town of Zebulon Parks and Recreation Department to create the best possible sports experience for their athletes,” said Positive Coaching Alliance President Jason Sacks. “We appreciate Town of Zebulon’s leadership making a positive sports experience a priority for all involved, including 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.”
“We are proud to partner with Positive Coaching Alliance to ensure our youth sports programs emphasize character, teamwork, and positive development both on and off the field,” said Sheila Long, director of Parks and Recreation.
