Youth sports is big business, and private equity investors are hoping it gets even bigger.
“Money chases money,” says @TomFarrey. “There is a great demand for kids to play sports, and parents will spend money they don’t have.”

Only a miniscule percentage of high school athletes will play pro sports. That doesn't stop some parents from dreaming big. 1 in 10 sports parents believe their child can go pro, according to our latest survey with @FamiliesInSport and @Blazojor. projectplay.org/news/project…
The average U.S. sports family spent $1,016 on their child’s primary sport in 2024, up 46% since 2019, according to the @AspenInstitute's parent survey with @FamiliesInSport and @LATech. That’s twice the rate of price inflations in the U.S. economy. projectplay.org/news/2025/2/…
Our students never fail to impress! Proud of this group!
This past weekend, students from the MiML attended (and 4 presented) at the AASP South Central Regional Conference at the University of North Texas.
Lookout for more in the coming days on the AMAZING presentations!

"There is no such thing as an elite 8-year-old, a high-performance 10-year-old, or a professional 11-year-old"

It's #NationalYouthSportsWeek and we're celebrating the benefits of active youth. Physical, mental, social, emotional, cognitive and academic benefits flow to youth whose bodies are in motion. #ProjectPlay

U.S. children spend many more hours playing organized sports than Canadian children. We want youth being physically active, but in moderation. Too much organized play carries risk for burnout and overuse injuries. #ProjectPlay

Thoughtful piece by @LindaFlanagan2: "Besides so much else that’s wrong with contemporary elite youth sports—the prohibitive cost, erosion of fun, epidemic of injuries—disrupted families should be added to the list." theatlantic.com/family/archi…

Great conversation about family experiences in sport and highlights @Blazojor’s work on siblings!
Also the article shares our research with @FamiliesInSport and @AspenInstSports.
