State of Play Oakland Report

THE 8 PLAYS

THE 8 PLAYS

The Aspen Institute’s seminal 2015 report, Sport for All, Play for Life: A Playbook to Get Every Kid in the Game , identifies eight strategies (“plays”) that can get and keep all kids active through sports — regardless of race, gender, income or ability. On the pages that follow are five findings from Oakland related to each “play.”

• Think Small • Design for Development • Train All Coaches • Emphasize Prevention

• Ask Kids What They Want • Reintroduce Free Play • Encourage Sport Sampling • Revitalize In-Town Leagues

For more on the framework of each play, see the Project Play report at AS.PN/YOUTHPLAYBOOK
