Week of August 24 Updates
In partnership with Under Armour, I am proud to share this heat map as a real-time and data-informed resource that tracks the return to youth sports. This map provides visibility into state-by-state and sport-specific trends across the United States and Canada, and is accompanied by tools and resources to help support a safe return to sports. I invite you to explore, follow and share!
Week August 24, 2020 findings include:
- The Canadian Return to Sport Index score dropped nearly twenty percent this week, from 94.4% to 75.0%. This places Canada just slightly above the U.S. Return to Sport Index score of 73.0%.
- The decrease in Canada is largely attributable to a 38.2% decline in the basketball Return to Sport Index score.
- U.S. volleyball held a 100% Return to Sport Index score for the majority of July, but has steadily decreased throughout August, falling to 47.9% this week.
- 79.2% of our survey respondents now indicate that coaches and volunteers are consistently wearing masks at games and practices, an all-time high.
Given the continued increase in COVID-19 cases, we will monitor these trends closely in the coming weeks. Additionally, I welcome you to learn more about our new TeamSnap Health Check feature, which is now live for all users. We remain committed to a safe return to sport for all.
Play on—safely!
Dave, CEO
