The Problem: Kids in Lake County aren’t participating in local youth sports due to:

• Financial Issues: Families can’t afford gas to and from practices, league fees, equipment, or out-of-town travel.

• Transportation Issues: Parents must work or don’t have vehicles, preventing kids from attending practices, games, or events.

• Lack of Adult Influence: Kids live with elders, grandparents, or disabled guardians who aren’t able to encourage participation in sports.
