Youth Sports and Family Communication under Quarantine

In this time of COVID-19, "Youth Sports and Family Communication under Quarantine" gives us an opportunity to discuss the great number of ways sport intersects with family relationships and behaviors. Questions about these intersections include:

• How has the pandemic affected youth sports uniquely when compared to commercial, mediated sports?
• Has the pandemic affected access to youth sports, especially in communities with limited resources?
• How has the absence of sports affected families?

• What are expectations for coaches and parents who want their children to compete now and in he coming weeks/months?
• How is the experience of competing in youth sports likely to change under our current circumstances?
• What do you worry about the most in the wake of this pandemic?
• Has the shutdown opened any space for re-imagining how youth sports are structured?
