According to researchers at the Aspen Institute, kids from lower-income homes face increasing participation barriers to play.
In 2018, 22% of kids ages 6 to 12 in households with incomes under $25,000 played sports on a regular basis, compared to 43% of kids from homes earning $100,000 or more.
Kids from the lowest-income homes are more than three times as likely to be physically inactive.
Kids who are physically active are one-tenth as likely to be obese.
Active kids are more likely to go on to college and less likely to suffer chronic diseases.
Not engaging in organized sports or unstructured play at a young age often causes continued inactivity as an adult.
Parents should NOT have to watch from the stands!!! Our league gives parents the opportunity to coach and compete with their kids on the same team.
