How do I send a survey to my sports team?

Post a survey to the team's group in Team Scout, and families answer it on their phone or in a browser. A survey holds up to 20 questions (multiple choice, checkboxes, free text, ratings and dates), each person answers once even when you send it to several groups, and you can turn on anonymous responses.

Pick the right tool for the question

  • A survey, for several questions at once: end-of-season feedback, a coach review, which practice nights work. Up to 20 questions, each marked required or not.
  • A poll, for one quick vote: pizza or tacos, Saturday or Sunday. You choose whether people see results live, after they vote, or only you see them.
  • A registration form, when you need an answer on file with the family: a uniform size, a medical form, a waiver or a student information update. It can take a payment too.

Send it once, to the groups it is for

Post the survey to one group or to several at once: the whole club, one age group, the parents of one team. A family that belongs to three of those groups still answers once, so nothing is counted twice.

Members answer in the app or in the browser, with no separate survey link to chase.

Anonymous when it should be

Turn on Anonymous responses for coach feedback or anything people answer more honestly without their name on it.

Where it is: On the Groups page, choose New post, then add a survey or a poll.
