Excellent story by Steve that shows youth sports (and many other things in our society) could be so much better if we wanted them to be.

Youth sports in New Jersey are an expensive, corrupted, high-pressure mess. We found a better way — 4,000 miles away — in a place where they don't even keep score in some youth games. Hallo, Norway! 🇳🇴 nj.com/sports/2026/09/nj-you…
N.J. youth sports are tainted by corruption and greed. The cure is 4,000 miles away.

N.J. youth sports are tainted by corruption and greed. The cure is 4,000 miles away.

Norway has a cost-effective youth system that encourages participation in multiple sports. Why can't the U.S. follow its example?
