Founded in 1998,[2] PCA has established 18 chapters nationwide and has delivered more than 20,000 live group workshops to over 19.2 million youths.[3] PCA offers interactive online courses and provides tools for coaches, parents, and athletes. [citation needed]
PCA gains support from a National Advisory Board of elite coaches, professional and Olympic athletes, organization leaders, and academics. PCA partners with more than 50 national governing bodies, organizations and professional leagues and teams including Boys & Girls Club of America, National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, and US Lacrosse.[4]
