WINTER 2010
Message from the President:
On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Passaic County Coaches Association, we wish all our member schools, our student-athletes, our coaches and their administration a very Happy and Prosperous New Year…. Hopefully, everyone had an enjoyable Fall Season and is in the midst of an exciting Winter Season. The PCCA will continue to provide a championship venue for all of our student-athletes to compete and showcase themselves this winter. We encourage each of you to take in a game, meet, or match, and witness for yourself the many talents our student-athletes possess. We are convinced you will walk away with a memorable experience. We wish each of you the best of luck and continued success this Winter Season.
Best Wishes,
