## Resource

Youth sports have turned into a high-stakes, high-cost game where kids are expected to specialize early and travel nationally — even if they’re not aiming for pro careers. Families are spending thousands annually on fees, travel, and training, creating a financial divide that sidelines kids from less affluent backgrounds and fuels pressure to compete. Parents scramble to fund these dreams, often sacrificing their own stability, while questions grow louder about whether the emotional and financial toll is worth it — and whether the system is truly inclusive for all kids, especially those of color.
