The business of youth sports in the U.S. has transformed what was once a cornerstone of childhood development into a high-stakes, profit-driven machine that is eroding its very foundation. What should be a source of joy, growth, and community has become a system marked by exclusion, exploitation, and pressure. Private clubs and elite travel teams prey on families' hopes, demanding thousands of dollars for access to opportunities that were once freely available in schools and local leagues.  Those who cannot afford to buy in are left behind, not because of lack of talent, but because they lack the financial means to participate.
