Socioeconomic, environmental factors, including family, safety, social and financial classification, and geographical location, all significantly impact youth's participation in sports. Learn about a study that explores solutions and alternatives to assisting youth who may not have access to sports for socioeconomic reasons. The analysis assumes that without external financial assistance, youth athletes from lower socioeconomic classes may not have the chance to acquire the resources necessary to participate in athletics. Using an open-ended interview technique, the researchers conducted a mix of qualitative and quantitative data analysis to collect data from the study participants. Participants were selected from multiple touchpoints: parents, coaches, social service workers, school system representatives, and local parks and recreation department representatives. Individuals came from all socioeconomic backgrounds in the surrounding counties of Tallahassee, Florida.
