WHY YOUTH SPORTS MATTER

THE GAME BUILDS MORE THAN ATHLETES.

Youth sports can strengthen the mind, the classroom, the body, and the way young people learn to lead. Access to those benefits should never depend on what a family can afford.

MIND

Confidence grows here.

Federal youth-sports guidance connects participation with confidence and self-esteem, while regular physical activity can reduce the risk of depression.

CLASSROOM

Movement and learning connect.

CDC data show an association between stronger grades and sports participation: 66% of students earning mostly A's played on a team, compared with 42% earning mostly D's or F's.

LEADERSHIP

Teamwork becomes a life skill.

The National Youth Sports Strategy highlights teamwork, leadership, relationship building, goal setting, time management, and work ethic as benefits of sports participation.

HEALTH

Active kids build stronger futures.

Physical activity supports cognition, bone health, fitness, and heart health. Youth sports offer one important way for kids to reach the recommended 60 minutes of daily activity.

THE BARRIER

COST CAN KEEP A KID ON THE SIDELINE.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services identifies participation fees and equipment costs as barriers that can prevent young people from playing sports.

Aspen Institute Project Play found that families spent an average of $1,016 on a child's primary sport in 2024—46% more than in 2019. Families earning $100,000 or more spent $1,471 more annually than families earning under $50,000.
