As the National Youth Basketball Academy enters a new phase after three seasons of running development programming, NYBA took time to hear from the voices that matter most: the families.
NYBA launched its first-ever family survey, reaching over 1,000 households. The goal was to better understand how NYBA’s programming is being received — and what can be improved — as the Academy moves into a new era of competitive play and year-round development in the 2025–2026 season.
The response rate was impressive — 287 families completed the survey.
