The Million Coaches Challenge initiative launched by the Susan Crown Exchange in 2021 along with over a dozen partner organizations has reached the finish line — 1M youth sports coaches nationwide have been trained in positive, evidence-based youth development practices.
MCC said only 33% of the country’s 6M youth coaches had received education when it launched the campaign. And 93% of participating coaches said they feel more confident in their ability to support youth athletes.
MCC also released a pair of new resources to mark the occasion: a playbook of 12 youth coaching strategies and an agenda for the future of youth sports.
Also: California completed its statewide 25×25 Coaches Challenge as part of the MCC.
