THE CHALLENGE
THE RISING COSTS OF YOUTH SPORTS SINCE 2019
Family spending on youth basketball has increased by 46% since 2019, making competitive opportunities increasingly difficult for many families to access.
Equal Chance Athletics works to keep participation costs as low as possible while providing financial assistance to teams with demonstrated need.
