The IQA is pleased to present the results and analysis of the 2024 IQA Community-Wide Survey on Strategic Planning. This document serves as a key resource in shaping the initial draft of the IQA Strategic Plan.
The survey included questions on these suggested strategic areas: enhanced identity and communications (this could include branding, stronger connections with stakeholders, improved collaboration and information exchange), extended gameplay (this could include variations of the sport such as youth quadball, major league, simplified versions of the sport, additional resources), geographical development and expansion (this could include guides and resources for members, direct development efforts, and organize concrete geographical regions), and recruitment and Inclusion (this could include making the sport more accessible, and improving volunteer recruitment and satisfaction).
A total of 104 responses were collected from individuals representing 28 nationalities, 36 National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and Areas of Interest (AOIs), and a wide range of roles within the quadball community.
The new Strategic Planning Committee, composed of trustees and directors, was tasked in 2024 with drafting the IQA Strategic Plan. To gather valuable input, the committee launched the survey in September 2024, ensuring it reached the community through multiple channels. The survey remained open until September 29, after which the data was thoroughly reviewed and analyzed. The committee now aims to present a draft for approval at the Assembly of Members meeting following the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
The IQA extends its deepest gratitude to the dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly to develop and distribute the survey, as well as to those involved in compiling this report. Your efforts are instrumental in shaping the future of quadball.
