Main problem Young people between the ages of 8 and 18 often turn their back on their sports club for good; Young people rarely participate in community sports activities; The culture in schools is not always sufficiently youth-oriented. Why is this? The available sports are not geared to the wishes, needs and lifestyle of the youth. Adults tend to think about young people instead of with them. The culture within some organisations is not very youth-oriented. Young people do not have close ties with sports clubs even if they are members; There are many preconceptions regarding young people. What can you do? More school sports commissions; More youth councils that have an influence with the local authorities; More young committee members in sports clubs; Youth sports commissions in communities More adoption of street sports facilities.
