Return ToPLAY
The pandemic put youth sports on pause in 2020, but now it’s time to press Play. According to a 2020 Aspen Institute survey, 3 out of 10 kids are no longer interested in playing sports after the COVID-19 shutdown, and we want to help everyone get back in the game. Sports help kids, families, and communities thrive.
