[quote=Anonymous]The US (under a democrat ideally) should start a nationalistic program for youth sports.

Disclosure, i used ai to write this for speed. But I fed it all the ideas—I also edited portions.

The purpose: promote health, inclusion, discipline, and a sense of national unity through sport. The program would begin in grades K–2 by introducing children to a wide variety of sports—ranging from soccer and basketball to martial arts and swimming—with a focus on motor skill development, teamwork, and fun. These early years would avoid competition and instead create a joyful, curiosity-driven environment where students can explore physical activity in a safe, supportive space through both school-based PE and community sessions.

In grades 3–7, the program would evolve to offer more structured exposure and skills development through a tiered track system. Students could be grouped into Track A (beginner), Track B (intermediate), or Track C (advanced) levels within each sport based on experience and interest. This can also be divided by age and/or size. This phase would emphasize skill-building over competition, with increased focus on discipline, tactical understanding, and teamwork. It would offer regular after-school programs and summer sports camps to encourage growth at every level, while still prioritizing enjoyment and personal progress over early specialization or high-stakes play.

By grades 8–12, students would have the option to join one of three distinct tracks based on their aspirations: an elite/competitive track for those aiming at regional and national competition or college athletics; a developmental track for athletes who want serious training without the pressure of formal competition; and a recreational track to support lifelong fitness, mental health, and social connection. These tracks would offer a mix of school and community-based teams, with national tournaments like a yearly "America Cup" providing moments of patriotic celebration and sportsmanship. The program would foster not only athletes, but also leaders, coaches, and volunteers.

All optional, some kids love reading, no sports, walking or casual play for fitness.

However, this would be in the national interest to improve physical fitness, increase opportunities for all kids, and track kids along appropriate zones (not just a limited number of seats in a competitive track). It also allows all kinds of kids to have time to try out a variety before the specialization race begins.[/quote]
