The Opportunity of Now

2020 has been a year of unprecedented challenges in youth sports. In this hour, we dissect the national data on sport participation rates and the impact of COVID-19 and hear from community leaders on how they are responding to an environment in which the divide between sport haves and have-nots has grown since COVID-19 gutted local leagues and sport programs.

Welcome
