WCA coaches deliver exceptional experiences for recreational youth sports organizations

Why WCA Coaches
Research shows that having women in coaching roles is powerful—girls are more likely to stay in sport, and all athletes benefit from seeing women as confident leaders. However, the volunteer parent-coach model is under-delivering - only 25% of youth sports coaches are female.
WCA addresses this gap by building a sustainable pipeline of young women leaders (ages 15–26), who are trained, supported, and paid to coach in their communities. Through our leadership program, these coaches deliver high-quality experiences for players today—while growing into the leaders of tomorrow.

What Our Champions Say
I am very thankful for this collaboration, as we had players on the waitlist who wouldn't be playing if it weren't for WCA."
AYSO, Los Angeles County
Division Leader
The Women’s Coaching Alliance has strengthened our pipeline of youth sports coaches by connecting us with women who may not have otherwise stepped into coaching. Their training resources and mentorship have prepared coaches with the skills and confidence to succeed, which in turn has helped coaches feel valued and motivated to return. WCA’s visible presence of female coaches has also been a powerful factor in helping more girls feel welcomed and represented in our programs.

Does it cost money to partner with WCA?
WCA invests significantly in training, mentoring, and supporting each coach—costing approximately $1,500 per coach per season. As a nonprofit, we fund this work through a combination of grants, donations, and community partnerships. We typically begin by working with communities to identify funding sources—such as grants, local sponsorships or existing funding sources—so that cost doesn’t become a barrier to participation. If budget is a concern, we’re happy to partner with you on identifying funding opportunities, including co-writing grants or supporting local fundraising efforts. We do ask youth sports organizations to contribute toward these costs at a level that works for their budget, and we approach this as a shared investment. Our goal is to make partnership possible—not burdensome—so more young women can step into leadership and more communities can benefit from trained, supported coaches.
