The Ontario Soccer Association Parent Survey

As part of The Ontario Soccer Association’s (OSA) ongoing efforts to provide members with appropriate support, the OSA wants to prepare a resource tool to provide soccer parents with information about what they can expect once they have enrolled their child in a soccer program. Past research within the soccer community has consistently requested: better parent education about how the sport operates better communication of the benefits of participation, both as a player and volunteer tools to help increase overall knowledge of the sport with the grassroots membership There is also anecdotal evidence suggesting a need for a resource document (whether hard copy or online) that will: answer frequently asked questions outline rules of conduct delineate expectations of volunteers, players and parents clarify the role of clubs provide basic rules of the sport for those who might need them With these goals in mind, the OSA has prepared an online survey designed to hone in on the specific needs of our grassroots members. It is anticipated that the data collected in the survey will allow this project to focus on providing the information that is most desirable to our individual members and club constituency. This survey is to be completed by the parents of players participating in organized soccer in Ontario. It is a brief survey which should take 5-7 minutes to complete.
