Dionne Koller will discuss "More Than Play: How Law, Policy, and Politics Shape American Youth Sport." A Q&A and signing will follow the discussion. At the Co-op.
About the book: Driven by the promise of better physical and mental health, better educational outcomes, and a better society, tens of millions of kids across the USA participate in this form of organized play. Yet, most children who enter youth sport quit by the time they reach adolescence, often due to injury or abuse, and many more are sidelined by its high financial burdens.
In "More Than Play," Koller, Dionne Koller, a leading sports law scholar and policy advisor, delves into why youth sport has become all-consuming, costly, and, in too many cases, detrimental to boys and girls.
