Summary Good response to second survey; the most frequent responses were from players within the first few years of being in the Club and in Academy. Of overall respondents, 75.5 % would recommend OCYS Club. Of these same respondents 83% rated the past season experience as average, good or excellent. Uniforms are well received, ordering was acceptable, and is quality for value. The Club should focus communication through email (43%), Mobile/Team Application (28%) & Text (24%) and not through phone call or newsletter. Operationally; the registration process, website and club communications are well received; while focus should be on fees, and educating on our team assignment and tryout process. Overall when asked, respondents want to see improvements in Tournaments (33.1%), Team Management & Administration, (47.6%), Facilities & Fields (54.5%) We have strong team managers; effective communicators (88%), accessible (93%) and responsive (91%) but families want coaches to communicate more with families about play time, tournaments, and feedback on development.
