NY Times article entitled "Left Behind -- A City Team's Struggle Shows Disparity in Girls' Sports." The article discusses the gap between suburban and urban school systems in sports participation, particularly with female students. Although some of this gap can be attributed to finances, other barriers include the difficulties in the child's life. What are the benefits of sports to urban schools? How might sports programs in urban areas work through the barriers to involve more students?
