Technology is often blamed for falling participation rates in team sports. But tech isn't going away, nor should it. So how do we use tech as an asset to reduce the barriers to an early positive sports experience for all kids in all communities? How can technology help in reaching the hardest-to-reach kids, the ones most often left behind by today's youth sports system? On the heels of the release of the Aspen Institute's Project Play report, "Sport For All, Play For Life: A Playbook to Get Evert Kid in the Game", Executive Director Tom Farrey will lead an engaging conversation about how technology, a solution to so many of society's needs, can help solve a broken youth sports system.
