Goals and Objectives were covered in detail in Assignment #3.
Activities:

1. Using the Kidsport website, Joel will summarize relevant information. If additional information is required, Joel will contact Kendra Greyeyes of the Saskatoon Chapter of Kidsport.
   
2. Using the SBHL website, Joel will summarize relevant information. If additional information is required, Joel will contact Dean Crossland, President of the SBHL.
   
3. Dean will provide Joel will email addresses of current participants in the Saskatoon Youth leagues. May add emails of past participants to help determine if finances was a factor in them no longer participating. The surveys will be sent out and several days later a reminder email will be sent out (from the league). Within two weeks of the first email, Joel will begin compilation.
   
4. Joel will compile, categorize,and analyze survey information and prepare a report that shows that ball hockey satisfies the requirements of Kidsport. The SBHL will present it to Kidsport (Joel will provide support)
   
5. Joel will summarize survey results of strengths and weaknesses of the league and will make appropriate recommendations.
   

Outputs:
      Reports will include quantitative data as well as testimonials, video, and observational information.
Outcomes and Impacts:
      Obtaining funding for low-income families through Kidsport is one of the objectives, but ultimately this decision is beyond the control of the SBHL. However, through the information gathered through this process, the SBHL will identify areas of improvements and changes that can be made to all participants – including low income participants. So, the goal of helping kids from low-income families will more quickly be met if if Kidsport approves funding but can also succeed if the SBHL makes necessary changes and grows and, as a result of economies of scale, can offer ball hockey at a lower cost.
      Therefore, this evaluation will provide multiple ways for the SBHL to fulfill its motto of being “a sport for everyone.”
