Aspen Institute’s Project Play has created a wonderful, free resource to help parents and caregivers support their children’s participation in sports at every stage: from just starting out through their high school years.

The Parent Checklists are tailored for different ages and levels of participation, providing simple, research-based questions—whether their child is currently playing or not yet involved in organized sports.
