Sport England have recently announced their intention to begin focussing on the problem of falling participation rates amongst younger age groups, in particular the 16-24 age-group.
WSFF welcome this focus, and strongly believe that falling participation amongst young adults, adolescents and children is a very serious problem and presents a significant challenge to the sector.
Analysis of the Active People survey, as well as other public data sources and other WSFF research show that the problem of falling participation amongst young people is a significantly bigger problem amongst girls than it is boys.
We've collated an analysis with some key finds, available to download here.
