Children who start participating in sports between ages 6 to 12 have the following:
- 40% higher test scores;
- 7-8% percent higher lifetime earnings;
- a 15% increased likelihood of college attendance; and
- a significantly lower instance of obesity.
That's why it’s so important that kids who are sidelined from sports get an opportunity to play.
Yet, all across America, the high cost of sports is preventing some kids from participating; and overall sports participation rates in the U.S. have declined in recent years, with the trend most evident among kids from lower-income families.
To solve this growing problem, Legacy Laces is working hard to equip as many underserved kids as possible with the gear they need to play team sports. We believe every child can benefit from the mental and physical benefits offered by athletics.
