Abstract	High-quality organized sports are a gateway to academic achievement, better grades, improved chances of attending college, and success in the labor market--and these benefits are especially important for low-income youth. The author's report analyzes several distinct strands of research on the effects on youth of participation in organized sports. The author's report examines data on the impact of organized sports on the academic and intellectual achievement of students. The findings of her research are discussed. Her recommendations cross three major categories critical to moving the sports-based youth development field toward a goal of improving educational outcomes for children and youth. The first two, program quality and equitable access to high-quality programs, are top priorities. (ERIC).
