The Village School Athletic Department is a proud partner of Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). The message of PCA is to "Develop BETTER ATHLETES, BETTER PEOPLE through resources for youth and high school sports coaches, parents, administrators, and student-athletes.” Part of the PCA message is to create Double-Impact coaches who strive to better their athletes both on and off the field by teaching life-lessons through sports. Last year, Scott Mastro, Head Coach of the high school cross country team, was a recipient of the Double-Goal Coach Award. Based on the strength of his nomination, Coach Mastro was selected as one of the 100 award winners from a field of over 3,000 nomination letters. This honor speaks volumes about the job he did as a coach, and the role he played in making a positive impact on his athletes.

The Village School is proud of the highly qualified and passionate coaching staff that leads our student-athletes. They do a remarkable job of developing character, teaching accountability, and providing our athletes with the foundation necessary to be successful in life.
