# Retention, Retention, Retention

## The challenge every club faces

Your U12 teams are bursting with energy and enthusiasm. Multiple teams, packed training sessions, excitement everywhere. But fast-forward to U17, and you're working hard just to field one team. Sound familiar?

This isn't just your club's challenge. Recent research from Women in Sport and UNESCO tells a sobering story: youth sport dropout rates peak between ages 13-15, with girls leaving at twice the rate of boys. By the time athletes reach 17, most clubs have lost over 70% of their young players. This isn't just a statistic – it's a call to action.

## Why retention matters

Strong retention runs deeper than numbers on a team sheet. It's the foundation of a thriving club, enabling sustainable finances and creating lasting community impact. When young athletes stay engaged, they develop into lifelong participants and often become the next generation of coaches and volunteers. More importantly, high retention signals that you're delivering what young people need most: a sense of belonging, opportunities for growth, and positive experiences that shape their relationship with sport for life.

## Transform your retention with miMove

 Early warning signs

Gone are the days of waiting until players stop showing up before taking action. miMove transforms how you monitor and maintain engagement with your players. Instead of discovering issues when it's too late, you'll spot warning signs early, maintain consistent communication with young players and their families, and have the tools to step in at the right moment – before a young person decides to leave

 Player-centred approach

At the heart of miMove is a simple truth: young player need to feel heard and valued. Every player gets their own miMove account, creating a space where they can record their activities and experiences at your club and elsewhere, share feedback with coaches they trust, and track their progress. This isn't just another app – it's a platform that gives every player a space to be seen and heard. 

As such, miMove is absolutely aligned to the [Play Their Way](https://playtheirway.org/) philosophy and allows you to be a UNCRC respecting club.

 Safety & Wellbeing First

Safeguarding isn't just about policies – it's about active monitoring and timely response. miMove helps you track real-time participation while preventing the overtraining that often leads to burnout. Many young people juggle multiple sports and commitments. miMove helps you understand and support their complete player picture, including their mental wellbeing through regular check-ins and open communication channels.

 Building Stronger Clubs

When clubs implement miMove, communication between coaches, players, and parents becomes more meaningful and consistent. Resources are allocated more effectively based on actual needs and usage patterns. Most importantly, the club culture shifts toward one that truly values to youth voices.

The impact is clear: clubs using miMove report significantly higher player satisfaction, earlier intervention in potential dropout cases, and a stronger sense of community. They're not just keeping more players – they're building a more sustainable future for youth sport.

## Ready to transform your club?

miMove isn't just another digital tool – it's a partnership in creating the kind of sports club that young people want to be part of. A club where every player feels valued, supported, and engaged. A club that retains its members not by chance, but by design
