Learn From Experts!
This is our online event and we're so excited for you to join us! Our expert guests are inspiring, knowledgeable, and passionate. Together we will discuss problems faced by the youth sports community. Did you know youth sports attrition rates are as high as 70% by the age of 13? Additionally, national health surveys report 32% of the 5-to-17 year old age group is either overweight or obese. Sign-up to learn about resources, and techniques experts are implementing to reverse these negative trends.
