Urgency: exclusion & unequal access to sports
Not every child has the same opportunity to take part in sport. Children with a disability, in particular, have less access to sport.
The figures show how significant this difference is:
- 26% of children with a disability do not participate in sport at all, compared with 13% of children without a disability.
- 53% are members of a sports club or association, compared with 74% of children without a disability.
- 43% have friends in their neighbourhood, compared with 82% of children without a disability.
- Boys make up the majority at Cruyff Courts at 73%, while 27% are girls.
