Play Like a Champion Today™ Parent Course:
Play Like a Champion Today™ (PLACT) is an innovative coach and parent education
program. Based at the University of Notre Dame, Play Like A Champion Today™ offers
an athlete-centered, research-based approach to sports. It is designed to encourage a
healthy approach to youth sports.
This year, 2016-17, The Diocese of Columbus Recreation Association (DRA) requires
at least one parent of 4th & 5th grade students participating in youth sports to have
received this training. One parent or guardian is required to attend per student, but all
are welcome. Students will not be permitted to participate until a parent/guardian has
completed this training. Going forward each year incoming 4th grade parents will be
required to complete the PLC training. Ultimately all families of students participating in
diocesan sports will have completed this training.
If a parent or guardian has completed the 3-hour Coach Version of Play Like a
Champion, a requirement for Diocesan Sports Head Coaches for several years,
that training satisfies the family’s PLC requirement.
Parent PLC sessions are an hour long. There is a $10 fee per family for the Play Like a
Champion Today™ book provided at the training and is yours to keep. Only one book
required per family.
PLC parent course is required for at least one parent/guardian of all school year 201617 4th, 5th, & 6th grade athletic participants. But PLC is not restricted to just those
families. All St Andrew Parish parents and family members are welcome to attend PLC
training session. Only the parent or guardian is required to purchase the PLC book.
All classes are held in the multi-purpose room off the church parlor:
