## Resource

Youth sports are turning into a $40 billion money machine, leaving behind the kids who can’t afford the fees—despite their talent. Elite travel clubs prioritize college recruitment and marketing over community access, pricing out families and sidelining local leagues. As competition heats up and costs soar, the joy of play is fading, replaced by burnout and pressure to win scholarships that most athletes never get.
