The GRL Initiative: Youth Sports Culture Audit: Is Your Program Built for Kids or Competition?
This checklist is designed to help coaches, parents, leagues, and youth programs evaluate whether their environment is truly built for kids — not just competition. Use it to reflect honestly on your team culture, coaching practices, parent behavior, and overall developmental approach. Check every item that applies to your program. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s awareness. Once you know where your strengths and gaps are, you can make thoughtful changes that help every child feel safe, included, and excited to keep showing up.
