The Benefits Of Youth Sports

The benefits of sports for kids reach far beyond the playing field. Our quest is to give more kids more opportunities to be involved. Kids involved in sports:
  • are 1/10 likely to be obese
  • Achieve up to 40% higher test scores
  • Get involved in less risky behavior (Less smoking, drug use, and less early pregnancy).
  • are 15% more likely to go to college
  • Have 7-8% higher annual earnings
SKO youth sports wants more kids involved in more sports for longer. For more info, check out Our Mission, or Contact Us
