Atlanta-based basketball brand selects first partner cause under its “We Care About Basketball” initiative.

ATLANTA, GA (November 15, 2016) – POINT 3 Basketball announced it has entered a partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) whereby the organizations will work together to instill positive values into the culture of youth basketball. The joint effort is based around shared interest in prioritizing work ethic, sportsmanship and teamwork in sports.

“It is an honor for us to partner with Positive Coaching Alliance,” said Michael Luscher, Founder & CEO of POINT 3 Basketball. “Their ideals and mission are a great fit for how we see the game, and how we believe youth sports should be approached in general. We look forward to helping spread PCA’s message to youth basketball coaches, players and parents around the country.”

In addition to financial support, POINT 3 will feature PCA content and spokespeople across all POINT 3 social media and marketing channels. As an official partner of PCA, POINT 3 will be featured in relevant content within PCA’s websites at PositiveCoach.org and PCADevZone.org, a collection of nearly 1,500 free multimedia resources for youth and high school sports coaches, parents, student-athletes, administrators and officials.
