New youth softball survey tool: Responsible Sports Season Evaluation
The Responsible Sports Season Evaluation Tool™, powered by the youth sport experts from Positive Coaching Alliance – an easy-to-use, online survey tool designed to help leagues and teams measure season-over-season improvement and allow you, the parents, to give valuable feedback to your league.
The Responsible Sports Season Evaluations will create a space for you to voice opinions in an anonymous and confidential way. The feedback that you give will help your league measure its improvement in the experience they provide to your child, and others, for years to come.
Are you the league administrator?
Sign up for more information! We’ll walk you through the step-by-step process introducing these evaluations to your league, building and sending the survey, delivering results to you, and help you develop your action plan, plus it’s free! |
Tell your administrator to use the tool this winter! >>
