A listening system for youth sports organizations

Know sooner.See a fuller picture.Decide what deserves attention.

YSLP™ is building a multi-perspective listening system that helps youth sports leaders hear from athletes, caregivers and coaches while the season is underway, bring those views together and decide what needs attention.

What YSLP is being built to help leaders do

  • Know sooner

    Learn what people are experiencing while the season is still underway.

  • See a fuller picture

    Bring together views from athletes, caregivers and coaches.

  • Decide what deserves attention

    See what is working, what needs a closer look and what is still unclear.

A more dependable way to listen

YSLP is being designed to give athletes, caregivers and coaches clear ways to share what they are experiencing while the season is underway.

The product will bring those views together to show where experiences are similar, different or unclear. It will not turn everything into one score. Leaders will receive a short summary that shows what is working, what needs a closer look and what is still unclear. They will also receive questions to help them think about possible next steps.

Over time, the goal is to help organizations listen during each season and use what they learn to guide the next one.

Where YSLP is now

YSLP is talking with youth sports leaders and others connected to youth sports. What we learn from these conversations is helping shape the product and the experience for the people who will take part.

YSLP is also designing the first digital version of the product and preparing for future beta testing.

Three ways to participate

Listening depends on trust

People should know how their information will be used, who can see it and how results will be shared.

YSLP is being designed so leaders see patterns across groups. They will not receive reports that name people or show individual answers.
