Problems:
When I first started the project I thought that the problem was that some families couldn’t afford for the kids to play sports.  When I was researching, I found that the cost to participate in sports has gone up a lot.  More and more public schools are charging “pay to play” fees and travel teams and clubs are expensive which are pushing lower income kids out of the participation. I feel like this is the main cause in why more and more kids are dropping out of sports at young ages. I find this to be very sad because I feel like every kid deserves a chance to play. I have read on many sites that sports lower school dropout rates, improves cooperation, reduces risks of obesity and much much more. There are different organizations like “Kids in the Game” who are trying to make a stand in this problem. Every kid deserves a chance to play.

My end user needs to have opportunities to play sports with no cost because the cost to participate in sports keep rising which is causing some kids to stay on the sideline.
