Youth sports are considered just a physical outlet for kids. What we’re overlooking is the depth of learning and development happening there.

One of the most common complaints I hear from teachers and school leaders is, “We invited all of the families to school events, but most of them didn’t attend,” with turnout particularly low from the school’s underrepresented communities. To increase attendance at school events, teachers and administrators should think creatively about their messaging.
