What’s Next for Youth Sports? What will youth sports be like in the U.S. in 10 years in quality of play, in mental and physical benefits, and in access to sports? According to Tom Farrey, Founder and Executive Director of Aspen Institute’s Sports & Society Program, this question is dependent on on how much stakeholders commit to building healthy communities through sports, starting with quality experiences for all children regardless of ZIP code or ability. Engaging in a ...grassroots marketing program by sponsoring your local youth sports programs has many benefits not just being seen as a leader that cares about the community, its youth, and its future, but also creating new opportunities in the sports industry. #sports #marketing #education #athletics #sponsoring #sportsindustry #sportsbiz #youthsports #sportsmarketing Link: https://lnkd.in/dngcFCx See more

This could be the last year of the one and done rule in college basketball/NBA !! If so, how do you think this can this affect youth basketball? However, it will mean the end of seeing the likes of Zion Williamson lead his team to the national college championship before joining the pros. While we may miss seeing a phenom do his thing, the overall level of play in college basketball may improve. Also, there may be more opportunities for kids playing youth basketball to get noticed and win scholarships to college. #collegebasketball #youthbasketball #nba #marketing #sportsbiz #GenZthoughts
