SQUARING THE PYRAMID
Creating athletes for life, at all levels, built on the ability, confidence, and desire to be active
Project Play, the signature initiative of the Aspen Institute's Sports & Society Program, develops insights, ideas and opportunities to help stakeholders build healthy communities through sports.
We identify access and quality gaps in sport activities for youth and help organizations to fill them, guided by one aspirational model and three strategic frameworks.

Our Playbook to Get Every Kid in the Game framework offers eight strategies for the eight sectors that touch the lives of youth. Governments and hundreds of organizations have taken actions inspired or shaped by our seminal report, with many gathering each year at the Project Play Summit to share ideas.
Our Playbook to Develop Every Student through Sports is a resource to reimagine high school sports to better meet the health and education needs of students. We aggregated ideas from two years of research and a national search that awarded $160,000 to the most innovative schools.
Endorsed by 500+ organizations and athletes, cities, and state, the Children’s Bill of Rights in Sports identifies the minimum conditions under which youth (ages 17 and under) should be served through sports. It recognizes that all, regardless of background or ability, have a right to play.
