What is the Game Feedback button on the website for?

The game feedback button on our website, which takes you here, http://www.howellbaseball.org/game_feedback.htm, is a means for anyone to provide feedback on a HAJBA game that they attended.

Examples of reasons to provide Game Feedback:

1)      If you witness a coach, parent or umpire acting inappropriately on the field (Swearing, combative, disrespectful, etc.), you can provide your feedback via this online form.

2)      If you are a coach, or parent, that witnesses an umpire that could use some additional “help” to make them a better umpire, you can provide feedback via this online form. As you know, we use youth umpires, and often they need some “reminding” to be sure they are positioning themselves correctly in the field to make calls, as well as paying attention at all times to ensure they make an informed call. If you witness an umpire that seemed to be “less than focused”, you can let us know so that we can observe him/her at future games and help them to become better. This online form should not be used just to “gripe” about an umpire because you were not happy with a particular call he/she made. We use the feedback you provide to help to make the umpire better.

3)      If you witness an umpire that did an amazing job in your opinion, and would like to pass along some “Kudos” to them, you can provide your feedback via this online form. Our umpires like to hear compliments, as well as constructive criticism.

4)      The form can be used to provide any other relevant information pertaining to a particular game that you feel the HAJBA board of Directors should be aware of.

In order for us to respond and react to any concerns you raise via the “Game Feedback” form, you need to be sure to fill it out completely, which includes your contact information.

Once we receive your feedback, we will forward the information to the relevant Board member for additional follow up, should follow up be required.

If you provide feedback without providing your contact information, the feedback cannot and will not be followed up on by a HAJBA board member.
