Youth Sports
The Why
There are many studies that suggest participating in sports can be very positive and beneficial to youth, leading to greater academic success, developing responsible social behaviors, and also encouraging an appreciation for personal health and fitness.
Team sports give youth an important sense of belonging with the atmosphere set by organizations, coaches and parents being a major factor in whether the youth will have a positive experience in a sports program or not.
As of 2017, only 34.1% of youth whose families had an average income of $25,000 or lower played a team sport compared to 44.6% of youth in a household with income ranging $25,000 -$49,999. Both significantly less than the 69% of youth participating from households making over $100,000. (aspenprojectplay.org)
