Thank you to the House of Wellness for giving us a platform to advocate for the need to center children's and young people's wants and needs to play sport. It is not all about competition and results, they just want to have fun.

Recovery of sport participation was positive in teenagers and adults, but for children - early adopters (4-14 years) participation rates in 2021 were lower than in 2019.
Re-engaging children in sport is key moving forward!

COVID-19 had a greater impact on females' participation. In 2021, female participation was lower than in 2019, whereas male participation increased.
We need to continue gender equity efforts in sport, in research, policy and practice.
