Changes at "Free youth sports (soccer, swimming, dance, basketball)"

What problem would you like to solve?

Lack of accessible sports/team/physical activity opportunities for youth; there are too few programs and too few programs that are cost effective for many families to access.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

It will promote physical and mental health as well as teach children social/emotional skills, such as working together. It will also build relationships and community between different families whose children are participating.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Expand the free soccer program to weekend leagues, offer free swim classes, offer free basketball leagues, dance classes, etc.

Who would that help?

Youth and families in Sunset Park.

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?
