  3. Add different question types to your survey: Use over 80 different question types to customize your survey:
    • Multiple Choice & Text Entry: Collect a mix of numeric data and descriptive feedback about your soccer clinics, instructors and facilities.
    • Star Rating & Radio Button Grid: Get simple, interpretable feedback on overall satisfaction.
    • Conditional Logic: Conditional branching is used to display questions based on specific conditions or options that guide respondents through the survey. You can add conditional logic to the question you want to display based on a specific response.
    • Skip pages: For longer surveys, be sure to add page skips to make it easier for members to complete the survey.

Soccer academy survey questions

 

📌 Pro Tip: For our children’s soccer programs, we found that shorter surveys worked best. More parents responded and we still gained valuable insights. Include open-ended questions for those who want to share more details.

Sharing surveys with parents and players

Once you’ve created your survey, it’s time to get it in front of your community.

Activity Messenger generates a unique link for each survey, making it easy to share on social media and your website. You can even print a QR code to display at the entrance of your academy or during soccer matches and events.

Sharing Your Soccer Academy Survey:

  • Social Media and QR Codes: Promote your survey on social media and place a QR code at the reception area or on notice boards.
  • Email and SMS Integration: Distribute the survey link via email or text to your soccer academy players and their parents.
  • Include in Your Newsletter: Your monthly newsletter is a great opportunity to survey members about their experiences at the academy.

Sharing surveys with parents and players

 

 

 

📌 Pro Tip: In my experience with various clubs, using a mix of distribution channels to share your surveys with members will help boosts response rates. And more feedback means better data to help you make smarter decisions as a Soccer club owner.

Automating surveys at the end of a camp or clinic

Automate feedback collection by sending automated SMS or email messages to player and parent lists the day after the end of a soccer camp, clinic or tournament. Include your survey link to easily collect feedback.

Improve survey collection with automation:

Timely sending: Automatically send out surveys right after an event to make sure you’re collecting feedback when it’s most important.
Efficient process: Automation saves time and standardizes feedback collection, resulting in more accurate data.

Analyzing survey data

Once you start collecting responses, it’s important to analyze the data to gain insights. Activity Messenger provides powerful analysis tools to help soccer academy owners better understand their data.

Analyze Survey Data:

  • Organize and Categorize: Examine responses by age group, training session type, and coach to see detailed breakdowns.
  • Identify Trends: Look for recurring feedback to pinpoint strengths and areas needing improvement.
  • Implement Improvements: Share insights with your team and apply the lessons learned to enhance your academy’s programs.

 

📌 Pro Tip: In the early days, just my partner and I coached, which made it easy to track feedback from our clients. As our organization grew and we hired more coaches, it became critical to improve our training methods. By analyzing survey data, we were able to identify key areas to focus on and ensure that our people were delivering a consistently high level of quality across the board.
