It's vitally important to have a mixture of structured and unstructured activities, but underlying all of that is that safe and supportive environment. You want to have the ability for young people to access a sport that they're confident and comfortable in. Sometimes that means trying something alone so that you have an experience, but when you have a program—Boys and Girls Clubs are an example—or a safe space that a young person can go to and learn these skills, that is just an extra insulator to that young person. Having a caring leader or adult close by who can support them in the other avenues of their life, especially if they're coming from a marginalized community, is definitely an add-on to that advantage as well.
We recognize the importance of having unstructured activities and having free play, but we underlie that with support and make sure that young people have that caring person beside them to support them through those activities.
