Youth sports tournaments, travel, and leagues create the market. The market size at $39 billion in 2022 is vibrant and growing. Leagues purchase and distribute sports software, clothing, and equipment to teams and clubs. The leagues have created a large market out of what were previously disparate local youth sports play. The availability of leagues that provide training by dedicated, professional coaches has made possible the evolution of hundreds of thousands of club and elite teams that together comprise a youth sports market.
Growth comes from facilities expansion, more targeted involvement of disadvantaged youth by communities, and AI inclusion in software. Mothers love the chat functionality in the youth sports software.
