For the people who lead youth sports
Leaders carry responsibility for an experience they cannot fully see.
Important concerns may not become clear until a family leaves, a situation escalates, or a coach steps away. You hear plenty — conversations, complaints, impressions, quiet exits — but those scattered signals rarely show the whole picture in time.

What is YSLP?
The YSLP™ Seasonal Listening Cycle
YSLP is building a structured, protected way for youth sports organizations to learn from athletes, caregivers, coaches, and staff at meaningful points in a season, then carry that learning forward.
Reflect & Plan leads back to Prepare each season.
Prepare
Define the season, participants, and listening plan.
Prepare and Reflect & Plan frame the listening work; they are not additional surveys. YSLP is building this cycle, and it is not yet available.
Where YSLP is now: Listen & Learn
Learning with people across youth sports
Before the beta, YSLP is having conversations across the field to understand what people experience, what they notice, and what would genuinely help. YSLP is open to every sport.
