LMSC Travel Team Parent Survey

The LMSC Parent Survey is now closed. If you have questions or conerns, please feel free to e-mail LMSC President Biff Sturla

LMSC Vice President and Head of the LMSC Travel Team Program Dale Haines, along with LMSC President Biff Sturla, are soliciting your help in evaluating your child's travel team and the team's coach.

At the end of each fall season, LMSC sends out a parent survey for travel team players. THIS YEAR OUR SURVEY IS ANONYMOUS. The results will be seen by Dale, Biff and your player’s coach. This survey gives parents a chance to give feedback about their child’s team as well as their child's coach.

This year, we have added a survey question relating to the expectations and commitment relating to our current travel team structure. We would appreciate your input on this issue as well.

Please take a minute to fill this out, thank you greatly.

THE DEADLINE TO SUBMIT INFORMATION THROUGH THIS SURVEY IS JANUARY 5, 2023

Sincerely,

Biff Sturla
