Badminton South Australia Strategic Plan Survey

Introduction

The board of Badminton South Australia with its associated clubs is in the process of updating its Strategic Plan for the 2021-2024 period. To ensure that the people who care about badminton in South Australia shape its future, especially club members, we are undertaking a survey to better understand the views, aspirations and satisfaction levels of players and other stakeholders.

This survey, which will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete, will inform the draft Strategic Plan about which there will be further consultation in the coming months.

The results of the survey (de-identified and aggregated), will be made publicly available.

Junior players are especially encouraged to complete the survey with the permission and help of an adult as appropriate.

We encourage you to take the time to complete the survey and have your say. Please also encourage others with an interest in, and commitment to, badminton to do the same by circulating the link and promoting it across your social media accounts.

The survey will be open for completion from now until the end of October 2020 when the results will be collated and analysed.

Everyone who completes the survey and agrees to joining the Badminton South Australia distribution list will go into a draw to win one of four free hours of court hire at WA Satterley Hall, subject to availability.
