Survey: Summer Baseball Safety Guideline Changes

  • Results as of 5/6/20
  • Survey Size: 5100
We received more than 5,000 responses, lending a great sample size as we continue to plan our next moves. The purpose of this survey was so we can better understand parents' and coaches' mindset as we prepare to make adjustments and provide some guidelines. These are just some of the guidelines and rules we have been considering.
 
This will help us shape our safety protocols. We appreciate everyone who took the time to participate in this survey.
