A Pandemic Shift in the Future of Youth Sports (Part 2)

From the elite levels on down, the sports industry continues to navigate a tenuous return to activity. The success of the pro and college leagues depend on youth sports to foster the next generation of athletes. More than ever, technology, innovation and a newfound spirit of collaboration are at the forefront of youth sports—especially when it comes to logistics and operations.

On this SportTechie Live session, a sequel to one of our more popular episodes of 2020, we'll further examine how the pandemic is affecting sports at the grassroots level and what it means for the industry at large.
