The community not-for-profit ORGANIZED SPORTS models, although good in many aspects in managing transactions and providing a community sports program, are saddled with many challenges that prevent them from properly providing consistent quality sports programs and building the whole athlete.

They are known to fall short in creating a thriving culture that instills principles and values of sportsmanship, respect, team work but instead foster a culture of surviving where individualism, elite player preferences and single sport technical skills are solely emphasized.

This is often an unintentional consequence of their structural make-up such as: high volunteer leadership turnover, lack of long term accountability, limited financial resources or foresight into investing in continuous training programs and ultimately defaulting to measuring their organization’s progress on performance results (i.e. banners from the rafters).

This produces a number of SHORTCOMINGS and CONSEQUENCES and is the reason why youth sports advocates are calling for a better system.
