Please provide input on on our brief survey to help us get feedback on the recently completed 2019-20 Stamford Youngtimers season.  It was a fun season but we want to hear from you if there are things we can do to make the experience even better for your daughters!

The survey is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XGGP389.  You have the option to put your name on the survey or keep it anonymous ... totally your preference.  The survey should take 5 to 10 minutes to complete.  If you have more than one daughter or your daughter is in travel as well as house, we'd ask for you to do the survey for as many programs as you have feedback.  That will give us the best opportunity to get the most input.

Thanks, in advance, for taking the time to do the survey.

Both girls fulfilled the qualities of Allyson Rioux with their teamwork, sportsmanship and character throughout the Youngtimers season.
