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.
