Why Sports Participation has Declined
Lack of free play
Learn about why the lack of free play leads to a decline in sports participation.
Early sport specialization
Specializing in one sport early in childhood does not allow youth to explore various sports to find the one they like best and gain transferable skills from one sport to another.
Marginalization of Physical Education
Physical education in schools needs to change and we all need to work together to make changes.
Technology
See the impact technology has on sports participation and increased levels of anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-development.
Decreased skill competence
Participation in sports has declined due to a decreased competence of fundamental movement skills.
