We believe athletic participation should not be determined by economic class
Most sports are starting to get out of reach except for the wealthiest kids
Training year-round, expensive equipment, individual coaching, camps, tournaments and participation on travel and select teams in many places are no longer really considered “optional” for success in youth sports, at least not heading into high school. The investment of time and money that these things require is substantial. That contributes to an environment where kids of lower-income or single-parent families are simply shut out of the game.
With this and all of the events going on in our country and world, ENA believes that sports can demonstrate the way our society can and should be; with different races, politics, genders and economic classes coming together to achieve a common goal through athletic participation
