So many parents, from different areas and walks of life, seem to feel this way.
Fortunately, in the #DMV, many great organizations, including #FFC's 38 Youth Development Institute members continue to provide affordable youth sports with an emphasis on fun and long-term wellness
ESPN's Dan Orlovsky explains why he thinks youth sports are 'completely broken' usatoday.com/story/sports/20…

#girlsinsports is at its' highest level in a decade as boys participation declines.
Obviously, these trends are both extremely encouraging and troubling for #youthsports but what do we think could be the main forces behind the opposite trends?
