State leaders must step up and fund the Youth Sports for All Act

The 2026 California Play Equity Report highlights a troubling trend: 76% of kids aren't hitting the CDC's recommended physical activity levels, and many parents can't afford to keep their kids in sports. This underscores a pressing need to fund the Youth Sports for All Act, which aims to make youth sports more accessible. Without better funding and support, we risk perpetuating a cycle of inactivity that could have long-term health and social consequences for our youth. It's not just about sports; it's about ensuring a healthier, more active future for all kids in California.
