[quote=Anonymous]I wonder how this plays out by gender--I'd imagine that the quit age is younger for girls than boys. Also curious about race/ethnicity--growing up as a young black girl in the south, very few black girls I know did any sports at all. It just wasn't really encouraged? Some of it was socioeconomic, I'm sure, but it doesn't fully explain it, given that the black boys certainly played football and basketball. Our 7yo is on the gymnastics team, but she's one of very few girls of color, and even that number dwindles as the girls move up levels.[/quote]
