Usability
A Website Designed for Everyone
We want this website to work for everyone. Parents. Kids. Caregivers. Every ability. When our website is easy-to-use, more families get connected. More kids find their Club. Stronger communities follow!
That’s why we’re committed to keeping this website clear, accessible, and always improving. We follow accessibility and usability best practices informed by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2). This is not a one-time fix, but ongoing attentiveness.

Annual Planning
Each year, we step back. We ask: are we truly serving kids and families well through our website? We improve what matters. We simplify what doesn’t. Because this website—like everything we do—is about helping Arizona kids thrive!
