Saving for youth sports
At Bankrate we strive to help you make smarter financial decisions. While we adhere to strict editorial integrity, this post may contain references to products from our partners. Here’s an explanation for how we make money.
Youth sports can be excellent character-building activities for children. They instill teamwork, communication, and discipline, which can pay dividends later in life. Along with physical benefits, kids engaged in sports develop cognitive skills such as improved concentration and classroom behavior.
That said, participating in these activities often comes at a price. Sports can cost as low as $191.34 for track and field to $2,582.74 for ice hockey. Our guide on saving for youth sports will help you learn the costs and plan for those expenses before they become untenable for your finances.

Pandeminin Gölgesinde Tokyo 2020
2020 Yaz Olimpiyatları resmen XXXII Olimpiyat Oyunları olarak da bilinen Tokyo 2020, 23 Temmuz-8 Ağustos 2021 tarihleri arasında Japonya’nın Tokyo kentinde düzenlenen çok sporlu bir etkinliktir. Olimpiyat oyunları savaşlar edeniyle geçmişte üç kez; Birinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında 1916 Olimpiyatları ve İkinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında 1940 ve 1944 Oyunlar iptal edilmişti. Başlangıçta 24 Temmuz- 9 Ağustos 2020 tarihleri arasında gerçekleşmesi planlanan etkinlik, Covid-19 pandemisi nedeniyle, 2021 için yeniden planlanmasına rağmen, etkinlik pazarlama ve markalama amaçları için Tokyo 2020′ isim koruma kararı almıştı. Bu durum, Olimpiyat Oyunlarının iptal edilmek yerine, ilk kez ertelenmesi ve yeniden planlanması anlamını taşımaktadır. Yaz Paralimpik Oyunları, Olimpiyatlardan sonra 24 Ağustos-5 Eylül 2021 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilecektir.

FIFPRO Player Workload Monitoring (PWM) – new report on women’s workload
The new report reveals that women’s football (players, coaches, and the industry as a whole) suffer from a fragmented calendar, which does not contain enough competitive opportunities for talent development and industry growth. FIFPRO PWM demonstrates that this calendar fragmentation leads to long periods without play (“underload”) juxtaposed with shorter, but very intense periods under challenging conditions. The study covers a representative group of 85 female footballers from 6 major domestic leagues and includes club and national team matches. Report data have been sourced from the PWM platform and the research has been prepared in cooperation with KPMG Football Benchmark.
