SPORT FACTS AMONG YOUTH IN NEW MEXICO AND USA
Low income children begin sports around age 8 and are six times more likely to quit by age 11.
Entering into elite competitive Single Figure Skating is more likely to be accomplished when children
begin ice-skating at early ages due to the complexity and technicality of the discipline.
In New Mexico, more than half of the youth between ages 6-17 does not play any sport.
Half of the annual sport injuries in children under age 14 are considered preventable by the CDC.
One of the main reasons why low income children quit sport is due to family time constraints.
