Parents are struggling to afford youth sports as costs rise, with many skipping seasons due to high fees. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personal-finance/2026/09/06/youth-sports-costs-expensive-quitting/91566349007/
Youth sports are getting more expensive, and families are feeling it.
A recent USA Today report found that 44% of parents surveyed have delayed or skipped enrolling their child in sports because of cost. Average spending on a child’s primary sport has increased 46% since 2019.
At Sol, we believe cost should never be the reason a young person is kept from the game.
That’s why we continue creating accessible soccer and futsal opportunities through programs like Serve-to-Play, Soccer for Success, and the TC Winter SOLstice.
Quality development. Competitive opportunities. Fewer financial barriers.
Every young person deserves the opportunity to play. 💪😤⚽️
