EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The LA84 Foundation Youth Sports Participation Survey for the Play Equity Fund is a comprehensive study assessing youth sports as it relates to childhood health and community well-being in Los Angeles County. ​ Since 2016, the LA84 Foundation has documented the evolution of youth sports participation in Los Angeles. These biennial reports offer insight into the day-to-day challenges over 1.4 million youth across Los Angeles are facing when trying to engage in sport, movement, and play. The survey tracks youth physical activity, sports participation, and the effects of inequity on access and attitudes towards youth sports.

A representative sample of households in LA County were surveyed and the questionnaire, administered in late 2021 and early 2022, included questions regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve a representative sample, a target quota of completed surveys for each of the five regions of LA County (North, South, East, West, Metro) was established.

The data illuminate promising trends, as well as areas where progress must be made to address the inequities that exist in sport, play and movement, what we call the play equity gap. In this report, half of the households surveyed in LA County reported their children were less active since the start of the pandemic. We also learned that the ability to return to organized sport and play was largely influenced by household income. We continue to face an equity crisis that demands our attention.

2022 LA84 Foundation Youth Sports Participation Survey

The findings of this report reaffirm the ongoing work of the LA84 Foundation and the Play Equity Fund, which have a shared mission to provide young people with the benefits of team and individual sports, play and movement.

Through partnerships, initiatives and advocacy, the Play Equity Fund and the LA84 Foundation are committed to removing systemic barriers to access and bringing the power of sport and play to all youth. Since the last Youth Sports Participation survey in 2020, the Play Equity Fund and LA84 Foundation have initiated innovative partnerships that are closing the gap for youth in LA County. These partnerships include: • The Play Equity Fund has joined NIKE in a three-year partnership to support thirteen organizations in the neighborhoods of Boyle Heights and Watts to increase girls’ participation and retention in sport.

• The Play Equity Fund has been bringing sport and play opportunities to neighborhoods and families that lack park space and recreation programs in LA County as part of the “Park on the Move” program, a Legacy Program of Super Bowl LVI. This program is a partnership with County of Los Angeles Parks & Recreation, Playworks, the NFL Foundation, and the Los Angeles Super Bowl Host Committee and will continue through 2024.

• LA84 Foundation is working with the College Football Playoff Foundation and the LA Sports and Entertainment Commission on the Champions Educate Here Awards,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY the legacy program of the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship. This awards program will shine a light on educators in Los Angeles County who are addressing the social and emotional learning and mental wellness needs of children through a sport, play and movement lens and as a means of returning joy to their school day and improving outcomes in the classroom.

As leaders of the play equity movement, the LA84 Foundation and the Play Equity Fund are committed to uniting partners to advance the power of sport and play. We will continue to use this report and research to inform solutions to the challenges communities and young people in LA County are facing in achieving play equity. Sport and play are instrumental in developing healthy kids and thriving communities and this research can be a catalyst for solutions that shift norms, institutions, and public funding.

stress, or loss of career/job) also had a higher percentage of inactivity compared to overall LA County.

•

50% of LA County youth reported being “less active” since the start of the pandemic. The remaining half is nearly evenly split between those who reported being as active (26%) and those who said they were more active (24%).

As household income increases, the higher likelihood a young person was more active since the start of the pandemic.

•

60% of LA County youth reported they spent MORE time online/using the internet since the start of the COVID pandemic. LA County youth spent less time participating in sports with others, participating in sports away from the home, and taking part in organized sports/fitness. ​

SPORTS PARTICIPATION ​ • Swimming (22%), basketball (22%), and soccer/futsal (20%) were the sports with the highest participation rates among LA County youth.

SUMMARY OF KEY RESULTS PHYSICAL INACTIVITY •

COVID, a lack of interest in sports, and cost were the three most common reasons provided for child inactivity in 2021.

• The average number of sports played by active LA County youth in 2021 was 2.0, slightly down from 2.3 in 2020. ​

•

When asked what sports/physical activities were played in 2021, one in five children (21%) of LA County youth reported being physically inactive; this is a 4% increase from the 2020 study’s inactivity rate of 17%.

•

Youth of color and those from lower-income households were more likely to be inactive. Importantly, households reporting being affected by COVID (whether illness,

• Active LA County youth averaged 99 play occasions in 2021, down 16 days (approximately 14%) from the 2020 study average of 115. Skateboarding (95), running/jogging (70), and basketball (54) — often played casually and outdoors — had the highest average play frequency. Youth who played more frequently on average were more likely to be male, teenage, and from higher-income households.​

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PLAY TYPE & LOCATIONS: ​

•

• There was a reported 3% increase in casual/pick-up play with a 4% decrease in school-organized sports participation.

Casual play was highest among white, more-affluent households. Youth from non-white and lower-income households were more reliant on school-organized play.​

38% of households with LA County youth reported they were in worse financial condition at the time of the survey than before the COVID crisis. Only 26% stated their condition improved — this is greater among higher-income LA County households and those with active youth or active adults.

•

Nearly two-thirds (63%) said someone in their household had been impacted by COVID, whether through illness, loss of work, and/or significant mental distress.

•

Similar to the 2018 and 2020 surveys, “I wish more sports were available at my child or children’s school(s)” was the statement receiving the highest level of agreement.

•

70% of adult respondents agreed the COVID pandemic “has made it difficult to find places for my children to play sports in LA County.” Agreement was higher among households making less than $75k.

•

Youth participants in skiing/snowboarding, hockey, golf, tennis, and rugby are disproportionately from higher income households. Youth from lower income households are not accessing these sports.

•

Cheer/dance/drill team, skateboarding, running/jogging, wrestling and soccer/futsal have youth participation with the least amount of income disparity. In other words, higher household income is not an indicator for access to these sports.

•

When asked what would make it easier for their children to participate in sports, “lower costs”, “fewer COVID restrictions”, “more time”, and “closer location” were the most common responses.

• LA County youth played less at public facilities/parks (-4%) and schools (-2%) compared to 2020. Public facilities were used by a greater percentage of higher-income households (58% of $150k+) compared to lower-income households (48% of <$75k).​ • When asked if their children began or stopped playing any activities because of COVID, 49% of children stopped playing a sport and 35% did not start or stop any activities.

The most common sports that were started were basketball, tennis, and swimming. The most common sports that were discontinued were basketball, soccer/futsal, and swimming. ​ • 57% of households with youth ages 6-17 say they developed an increased appreciation for sports & physical activity over the course of the pandemic. This percentage is higher among households with active youth (64% saying yes) and active adults (71%). Higher-income households were also more likely to say yes.

INEQUITY •

One out of every three adults said there were not enough opportunities for their children to play sports in Los Angeles County. This percentage was higher among lower-income households and inactive youth.

BACKGROUND & METHODOLOGY

Background & Methodology Starting in 2016, the LA84 Foundation commissioned Sports Marketing Surveys USA (SMS USA) to survey youth sports participation in Los Angeles County. The report published gave a comprehensive view of youth sports in LA, detailing participation rates, play occasions, locations, sport participant profiles, total player projections, and more.

The survey was replicated again in 2018 and 2020 to update results and trends, with new questions added to obtain insights on how youth sports participation in Los Angeles is affected by socioeconomic inequity.

In 2021, amid the coronavirus pandemic, the LA84 Foundation enlisted SMS USA to further measure youth sports trends in evaluating perceptions towards cost, availability, and access of sports by LA County households, particularly those more affected by inequity. Additionally, new questions were added to determine the impact of COVID-19 on LA County households overall and youth physical activity.

To achieve a representative sample, a target quota of completed surveys for each of the 5 regions of LA County (North, South, East, West, Metro) was established. 

Interviews were completed only with households with children ages 6-17



Regions of LA County were set according to their Service Planning Area (SPA). For the 2020 survey, the LA84 Foundation requested that zip codes in SPA 8 that are assigned to the West region be categorized to the South region. This recategorization is reflected in some of the trends shown, particularly sport participant projections.



This project was carried out using accepted market research techniques. A representative sample of Los Angeles County was created so results could be projected. The samples for this study were created by Luth Research.

Total Hispanic/Latino kids aged 6 to 17: 668 Total household interviews in Spanish (with kids): 30 completes Throughout the analysis, a weighting technique was used in order for the data to better represent the Los Angeles County Population of 10,069,245 people (2021 estimate from Claritas census data). The population of ages 6-17 years old was estimated to be 1,455,441.

Projected participants for each sport were also derived from Claritas census estimates for 2021; visit claritas.com for more information.

National sport participation rate comparisons are sourced from the Physical Activity Council, the nation’s definitive source for sports participation data. Visit physicalactivitycouncil.com for more information.

All surveys are subject to some margin of error — that is, the degree to which the results might differ from those obtained by a complete census of every person in the LA County area. For this survey, with a sample of 1,356 children, there is an average confidence interval of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level. For example, if the survey results show 30% of the respondents participate in a certain sport, we can be confident 95 times out of 100 that the “real” value is between 27.6% and 32.4%.

Change in Youth Physical Activity Since COVID Pandemic Began In addition to the primary sports participation question, a new question was added to the 2022 survey as another way to gauge changes in LA County youth physical activity during the COVID pandemic: “How has your child’s physical activity change from before the COVID crisis?

Sports Participation & Income Disparity The “income disparity” measure is created by dividing the participation rate of the highest household income group ($150k+) divided by the rate of the lowest household income group. Larger income disparity values indicate sports with more unequal play across income groups, favoring more-affluent households. Sports are sorted from highest participation rate to lowest.

Youth participants in skiing/snowboarding, hockey, golf, tennis, and rugby are disproportionately from higher income households. Youth from lower income households are not accessing these sports.

Cheer/dance/drill team, skateboarding, running/jogging, wrestling and soccer/futsal have youth participation with the least amount of income disparity. In other words, higher household income is not an indicator for access to these sports.

Although there are exceptions, there is a correlation between the income disparity and the percentage of that sport played at public facilities.

•

Sports with a greater percentage of play at public facilities had lower income disparity values — in other words, more equal participation by LA County youth across all household income groups.

•

Sports with 75% or less of play at public facilities had an average income disparity of 4.7, approximately twice the average of 2.4 from sports with more than 75% of play at public locations.

Making It Easier For Youth To Participate In Sports/Physical Activity A new question was added for the 2022 survey: What would make it easier for your children to participate in sports or physical activity?

LOWER COSTS o Comments and survey results by household income continue to emphasize the importance of financial means when it comes to participating in sports and physical activity.

NO COVID RESTRICTIONS o Given the importance of public facilities to participation and other factors, easing COVID-related restrictions will aid access & opportunities to play sports.

MORE TIME o Balancing family, school, non-sport extracurriculars, and world of ever-growing options to compete for attention

CLOSER TO HOME / CONVENIENT LOCATION o Accessible play opportunities are especially important due to the sprawl of Los Angeles.

SPORTS PARTICIPATION RATES AND PROFILES

2022 LA84 Foundation Youth Sports Participation Survey

© 2022 LA84 Foundation

Reading The Sport Participation Rates And Profiles PARTICIPATION RATES The participation rates/projections compares participation (percent of LA County youth playing) to the United States national youth participation rate from the Physical Activity Council’s annual study on sports and physical activity (www.physicalactivitycouncil.com).

The year listed refers to the year of the report publication; the figure shown is the value for the previous year. Numbers under 2016 represent the participation rate for the 2015 year, 2018 for 2017, and 2020 for 2019, and 2022 for 2021.

Due to the reassignment of SPA8 for the 2020 survey (see page 9), there were larger changes in projection participants for the West and South regions.

Some national participation rate splits by age/gender have been revised from totals published in the previous reports.

PROFILES The profile section provides a breakout as a percentage of total participation within the sport. For example, the baseball income profile shows households over $150K at 18%; this indicates that 18% of households with a baseball player between 6-17 years old make over $150k.

Each sport’s profile page contains an index table. An index is a score given across several key demographics through a comparison of two measures: dividing the profile of the sport (percentage of that sport’s LA County youth participants) by the profile of the total LA County youth population. For each category shown (e.g. male, 12-17), the figure represents the likelihood that a participant of that sport is a member of that demographic. This comparison uses a starting point of 0, which represents the baseline youth population of LA County.

Take this example. In 2020, about 80% of LA County youth baseball players are male compared to 54% of the total LA County population. By dividing the percentage of baseball participants by the total population, we get an index of 47 after normalizing to 0. This means the gender of a young LA County baseball player is 47% more likely to be male. On the other end, they are 66% less likely to be female.

Why is it a “relative” term?

We describe this as a relative measure since it does not account for participation rate — the % of the entire LA county youth who participate in the sport. For baseball, players are relatively more likely to come from households making more than $150,000. This does not mean they form most baseball players, only that they’re over-represented compared to the overall LA county youth population.
