The League Culture Audit

You already know something's off. A coach who yells too much. Parents who won't let go of playing time. A roster that shrinks every August and nobody asks why.

Five questions. Ninety seconds. Answer honestly and find out where your league actually stands.

When a coach-parent conflict blows up mid-season, what actually happens first?
It gets passed around until someone senior deals with it.
It festers in the group chat before anyone official hears about it.
There's a process. Everyone already knows it.
Do you track why families actually leave mid-season, not just that they left?
No. We just watch the roster shrink.
Yes. We have exit data and we look at it.
Informally. Coaches mention patterns.
When a new coach joins, how do they learn what's okay to say to a kid or a parent?
They shadow another coach.
Written onboarding and training.
They figure it out.
How do parents find out what to expect on playing time, conduct, and communication before the season starts?
Reactively, after something already went wrong.
Verbally, at a preseason meeting.
Clear and proactive, in writing.
When tension spikes (a bad loss, a bench dispute, a blowup), what's the league's default move?
We have a de-escalation protocol coaches are actually trained on.
We hope it resolves itself.
Whoever's calmest in the moment handles it.
