In fall 2020, the ndca conducted a survey designed TO COLLECT INFORMATION TO HELP COACHES ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR STUDENT ATHLETES.

The survey was developed by a team of current and recent dance team coaches from across the United States with assistance from a professional survey researcher. 

All head coaches of school-based teams in the United States were welcome to respond to the survey.  The NDCA plans to conduct annual surveys of its membership, exploring areas of interest.
