New Name, Same Mission Dear Friends and Partners, You may have noticed a new name on our masthead: we are now officially Coach Across America. This is more than a rebrand — it reflects the heart of who we are and the impact we strive to make every day. We’re building a national movement dedicated to supporting young people by strengthening the role of coaches as mentors and leaders in their communities.

Why coaches? Because of one fundamental, undeniable truth: kids trust their coaches. In a world where traditional institutions often feel distant, kids see their coaches as relatable mentors and accessible heroes. Our mandate is to ensure every child has a "good" coach—a trained leader who leverages that unique bond to inspire life-altering choices. We are teaching kids to put down the phone and pick up a playbook; to say "no" to drugs and violence, and "yes" to education and a healthy future.

The momentum behind this work continues to grow. With the support of our dedicated partners, sponsors, and our collaboration with AmeriCorps, more than 4,200 coaches have already been placed in communities across the country. And we’re just getting started. We are living in an era of epidemic isolation. Too many children are navigating depression alone; too many are missing the life skills that only a team environment can provide. Parents are looking for heroes.

Communities are looking for a spark.

We are redefining mentorship. We are redefining the "coach" as the ultimate catalyst for community health. We invite you to join us in this shared mission — not only as supporters, but as partners in shaping a brighter future for the next generation.

Welcome to Coach Across America.

Paul Caccamo Founder & CEO, Coach Across America

Game Changing Partnerships May 12, 2025 – Athletes Unlimited Softball League announced its first in-season impact partnership with Coach Across America and their “She Changes the Game” initiative, a national effort to grow and sustain girls’ participation in sport by increasing the number of women coaches in youth athletics.

Throughout its inaugural season, AUSL will conduct a social media and broadcast campaign encouraging fans to support the initiative through local engagement and in-stadium activations.

“This new partnership goes beyond increasing women and girls’ participation in sport–it is about building a future where every girl, in every community, has a strong role model that empowers them to stay in the game,” said Hilary Meyer, Senior Vice President of Impact for Athletes Unlimited.

May 15, 2025 – Monumental Sports & Entertainment is jumpstarting the next generation of women in sports across Washington D.C. with the MSE Girls Empowerment Program, to support girls’ participation in sports and female coaches in the region. The program anchors MSE’s larger District of Play youth sports platform and combines a groundbreaking partnership with Coach Across America with teamled programming from the Washington Capitals, Wizards, and Mystics, along with support from the MSE Foundation.

“Sports equip girls with confidence, community, and a clear runway for who they can become,” said Monica Dixon, President, External Affairs, Chief Administrative Officer and Foundation Board Chair, Monumental Sports & Entertainment.
