Kids need to be sampling as many sports as they can. They will be drawn to the one they love and stay longer @DMCSportAU #DontRetireKid https://t.co/HmTgIJqR60

And so it’s come to this. Kids everywhere are retiring from sports. This is unacceptable. Parents, coaches and leagues need to change or get out of the way. Let kids find joy in sports before it’s too late. #DontRetireKid @AspenInstSports https://t.co/IBNjBEczOk

In 2018, just 38% of kids age 6-12 played team sports. This number is even more bleak for girls, where 69% don’t play team sports. Kids who play sports are healthier, have a higher self-esteem, & do better in school. It’s vital that sports are accessible to all. #DontRetireKid https://t.co/W0YjGjbpvv
