What You Told Us

Here's how you perceive Swiss tackle football today:

The Strengths
Your teams are the backbone of Swiss football. Team environment scored highest (3.56/5.0), and 84% of you plan to continue playing. Game day operations (3.53/5.0) and team management (3.51/5.0) work well. At the club level, Swiss tackle football functions effectively.

The Challenges
Federation-level operations tell a different story. League communication (2.42/5.0) and financial transparency (2.56/5.0) scored poorly. Only 15% of you think league organization improved this year.

The experience divide is striking: newcomers (1-2 years) show 74% optimism about the future, while veterans (11+ years) are net pessimistic - only 15% expect growth. This 59-point gap shows how institutional memory affects expectations.

Personal development varies dramatically by league: NLB players report better development satisfaction (2.86/5.0) than NLA players (2.62/5.0), suggesting our top league may not be providing growth opportunities for elite players.

Your Priorities
The community speaks with one voice on certain issues:

- 95% say youth development is critical - yet youth faces huge challenges: 60% cite limited awareness, 59% competition from other sports
- 67% want the national team reinstated - consistent across all leagues and experience levels (61-74% support)
- 49% increased personal involvement despite frustrations - showing commitment remains strong even when satisfaction drops

Interestingly, while 61% struggle with volunteer recruitment, teams facing this challenge still maintain similar operational ratings - suggesting the problem isn't competence but capacity.
