2024 Soccer Parent Survey Summary
The results of the 2024 Annual Soccer Parent Survey are in! A big thank you to the 1,255 youth soccer parents from 46 states who took the time to participate this year.
As members of the Soccer Parenting movement are keenly aware, the annual survey is a big deal for us. We use this data to gauge our progress and map our approach for the year.
“Armed with a deeper understanding of what parents are actively experiencing drives our programming, education, messaging, expert interviews, and course creation throughout the year. Additionally, it provides perspective and guidance to the Soccer Parenting team when it comes to our development of coach education and club leader engagement.”
Our hope is that you find this information helpful, insightful and that, ultimately, the data drives action on the part of parents, coaches, clubs and leaders to make youth soccer better.
2024 Soccer Parent Survey Highlights:
Our 2024 Survey Conclusions:
The data presented in this report, combined with the collective data we have gathered for the past six years, presents tangible indicators of measurable progress and opportunity for improvement in youth soccer. The data drives down on the positive results the ecosystem has experienced, and also the gaps simultaneously faced with providing players a learning environment in soccer that challenges, supports and inspires them.
We are incredibly optimistic about the increases in parent sentiments related to club and coach satisfaction demonstrated in this 2024 Survey. While opportunities to improve abound, youth soccer IS getting better. Parents report feelings of more trust, higher satisfaction with communication, and improved feelings of their children being supported by adults who genuinely care about them.
At Soccer Parenting we promote education and messaging related to establishing a sense of community, and while the Community score reflected on page 9 of this report has slightly improved, this remains one of the lowest scores in the entire survey. In 2025, we will continue to drive messaging and education about establishing a sense of community and we ask parents, coaches and leaders to do their part to build this important foundation of belonging on teams and within clubs.
Gameday and sideline behavior continues to be an area of extreme focus for Soccer Parenting. The Sideline Project program facilitated by Soccer Parenting is making a difference. Sixty-five percent of parents who take the course and respond to the post-course survey say their behavior has improved. That percentage is astounding. We need more organizations resourcing around The Sideline Project and this will be a significant focus for Soccer Parenting in 2025.
