What's Allowed

We encourage honest, constructive feedback based on your experience

Honest Firsthand Experience

Share your genuine experiences with a club, coach, or program. Your perspective matters.

Example

"My son played with this club for two seasons. The coaches were knowledgeable and communicative. Tournament organization was excellent, though practice field quality could be improved."

Constructive Criticism

Provide specific, actionable feedback that helps clubs improve and parents make informed decisions.

Example

"Communication about schedule changes could be better. We sometimes received updates less than 24 hours before games. A team app or group chat would help."
