The Benefits and Impact of Youth & Interscholastic Sports #infographic

Throughout the 2014-2015 academic year, over 7.8 million children participated in high school athletics. Although this may seem remarkable, many sports are facing a gradual decline in fact. And popular sports from this new phenomenon have not been spared. Football, for instance, is down 2.4 percent and basketball has dropped by 1.9 percent relative to 2008 figures.

 Since 2002, the falling rate has been 2 percent a year in baseball's Little League. The decline in participation is most important because youth and interscholastic sports are vital for our youth, not only for their physical health. What will the future hold?
