Message: [QUOTE="sufan4eva13, post: 2275970"] It is worth pointing out that as of 2014 football was still the most popular youth sport for boys. I don't know how much that has progressed since, but I was coaching in 2014 and we were talking about the numbers decline then. I think football is affected more than other sports, but that it is genuinely a trend which crosses many different sports. Kids these days (Good lord, I'm 25 and already saying that) aren't as physically active as kids used to be. When people my age were kids we weren't as physically active as our parents. Our parents were probably not as physically active as their parents. Technology keeps making it easier to sit on your backside and reap the rewards of football (who wants to put in grueling hours when you can become a stud at the video game in no time?). [/QUOTE]
