Monitoring Youth Sports Programming

To ensure safety and quality in the various youth sports programs, practices must be monitored and evaluated by a an employee who is familiar with policies and procedures.

a. Visits to the program. The YMCA team will regularly visit programs and provide employees with feedback about visits and any necessary adjustments to program operations that is necessary.

b. Vary observation times. YMCA teams will drop in at different times each time there is a visit. This will ensure that we are seeing the program during unpredictable hours.

c. Survey the physical environment. YMCA teams will review is the location is a suitable location for the activity (e.g. size of area for number of youths, ability to supervise all areas used by youth, landscaping that may inhibit supervision)?

d. Watch activities. YMCA leadership will ensure that the employees are actively involved in programming.
