All Sides with Ann Fisher - 4-11-2023 A - Making youth sports more available to low-income families
Poor children face a range of disadvantages, from food insecurity to scant housing options.
Organized sports have long been a bridge for those children, but the costs associated with everything from equipment to travel teams have drawn another line in the sand, reducing participation by low-income students.
We'll learn about the role of school budget cuts and efforts to make the world of youth sports more accessible.
Guests:
Jon Solomon, Editorial Director for the Sports & Society Program at the Aspen Institute
Stephanie Hightower, President/CEO of Columbus Urban League
Dr. Vincent Clarno, Director of Student Activities with Columbus City Schools
Gizmo Hall, pro pickleball player
