JB Tourneys at EastSide

EastSide Centre is looking at additional fields, a dome, and/or building/court expansions. Please take a moment to help them in their decision making process by completing this short survey: https://illinois.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eY83X8geQrx9sfc

The EastSide Centre, in collaboration with the Department of Recreation, Sport & Tourism's RST 504 (Applied Evaluation & Needs Assessment) graduate class at the University of Illinois is conducting a survey to assess previous user groups' experiences and future needs/interests with the EastSide Centre. You have been identified as someone who has recently used/visited the EastSide Centre and we would like to invite you to take a few minutes to share your experiences and future interests with the complex.

Only with your input can the EastSide Centre provide the highest quality experiences suitable to the needs of you and/or your organization(s). Participation in this study is completely voluntary and only data in grouped form will be published. Your responses will be kept anonymous. Since the accuracy of the findings depends on a high rate of response from the sample, we urge you to take time to complete the survey by Monday, November 17, 2025.

If you are willing to participate, we would also ask that you forward this survey on to members of your organization, including but not limited to coaches, parents, teams, referees/umpires, etc. These efforts will help provide the EastSide Centre with a more comprehensive assessment of their facility and future needs.
