sports, with the majority saying lessons learned 
on the playing field contributed to their success 
in business.). 
(4) The opportunity to play sports in secondary 
school helps many middle- and low-income stu-
dents—who might otherwise be unable to attend col-
lege—to gain access to higher education. 
(5) Physical inactivity is much more common 
among females than males. 
(6) Girls who are not involved in physical activ-
ity by age 10 have only a 10 percent chance of being 
athletic when they are 25. 
(7) Girls receive 1,250,000 fewer opportunities 
to play high school sports than do boys, which trans-
late into many lost opportunities for athletic partici-
pation and scholarships. 
(8) Several reports indicate that girls’ teams 
often receive inferior opportunities and benefits in 
other aspects of athletics programs, including overall 
budgets; equipment; uniforms; locker rooms and 
practice and competitive facilities; scheduling of 
practices, games, and sports seasons; training and 
medical services; coaches; and publicity.

be deprived of opportunities to play sports and to at-
tend college on an athletic scholarship.
