PLC Leadership Conference, June 20 – 22, 2008
University of Notre Dame

The PLC Leadership Conference is Train the Trainer workshop for those interested in implementing a PLC Sports as Ministry Initiative or Coaching for Character program in their school, parish, diocese, or league. Conference participants will be trained to lead future workshops for coaches and parents in the hopes of creating a more positive climate in youth sports. During the three-day workshop conference, participants experience a PLC Coaches Workshop presented by PLC Master Trainers and receive extensive training and consultation to effectively present a PLC program to their school, parish, diocese or league.

The PLC Leadership Conference provides participants with:  

  • A comprehensive “game plan” for elevating the climate of youth sport through coach and parent education.
  • Mastery of the PLC coaching philosophy and materials.
  • The knowledge and training resources necessary to lead PLC Workshops for coaches in schools, parishes, league, and diocese settings.
  • Training, practice opportunities, and evaluation.
  • Membership into a national network of PLC trainers linked through support of the University of Notre Dame.

PLC offers several training opportunities for conference participants. For the first time participants have the option of being trained in a number of PLC programs. These include:

  • PLC Sports as Ministry Initiative (SAM) – Ideal for a parochial settings
  • PLC Coaching for Character – Used by public schools and leagues
  • Parent Like A Champion – A parent program
