Socio-economic factors significantly influence access to sports participation. Individuals from lower income families may face barriers such as the inability to afford sports-related expenses, including equipment, travel, and fees. Additionally, limited access to facilities and safe play areas may hinder participation. Public funding for sports programs can also vary greatly by region, affecting youth involvement. Conversely, higher-income families often have greater access to sports and training resources, contributing to potential disparities in skill development and opportunity in competitive environments.
