Youth sports markets are poised to achieve significant growth as travel teams become more popular and families enjoy time together during a weekend sporting event.  Tournaments have become significant avenues for generating revenue. 
 
Leagues purchase and distribute sports software, clothing, and equipment to teams and clubs.  The leagues have created a large market out of what were previously disparate small businesses serving scholastic youth sports locally.  The club and elite teams provide better coaching and better access for all youth, both boys and girls.
 
The availability of training by dedicated, professional coaches has made possible the evolution of hundreds of thousands of elite teams that together comprise a youth sports market.  Enormous market efficiency is being achieved as youth and recreational teams move to automated processes.  Apps can be used to book hotels and make travel arrangements.   Apps and chat are used for almost continuous communication between parents.
