The Importance of Increasing Youth Sports Participation

In the elite sports community, some people view the lack of kids participating in sports as a tragedy. An article highlighted the income gap between wealthy and lower-income families, with 70% of wealthy kids playing sports compared to 31% of lower-income kids. This suggests that the high cost and intensity of the youth sports system have excluded many kids, resulting in fewer opportunities and advantages. However, the issue of access to sports is less problematic in some countries, such as Class Country.
