Jason Scott Headshot

 A survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations found that more high school-aged students than ever before are participating in high school sports.

The 2016-17 High School Athletics Participation Survey revealed that the number of participants grew for the 28th consecutive year. The number of high school students playing sports has reached 7,963,535, based on data from 51 NFHS member state high school associations. That number represents an increase of 94,635 over the 2015-16 survey data, making it the largest one-year participation spike since 2008-09.
