Common barriers to participation in sports include financial constraints, access to facilities, and time limitations. Many sports have associated costs for equipment, fees, and travel, making them less accessible to low-income individuals. Additionally, geographical location can impact access to quality facilities and coaching. Time limitations due to work or family commitments further hinder participation, especially for adults. Social factors, including lack of encouragement or negative social pressures, can also deter individuals from engaging in sports. Addressing these barriers is crucial for increasing participation and promoting inclusivity.
