As kids across the country return to school, the importance of centering their voices couldn’t be more timely. The first play in our youth sports framework is Ask Kids What They Want.
At the most recent Project Play Summit, we asked three girls how they got involved in sports and what they feel like when playing. Only 15% of girls nationally meet the CDC recommendation for 60 minutes of physical activity.
Youth sports today can be stressful and confusing. Some kids are left behind due to costs or ability. Others are having poor experiences due to the adults (coaches, parents, league organizers). Often, parents are left alone to figure it all out.
Project Play is here to help. Each month, we will offer advice on key questions submitted by parents and caregivers.
