"Participants in roller skating in the U.S. from 2006 to 2017
Published by S. Lock, Feb 13, 2020
The number of U.S. citizens aged six and above that participated roller skating amounted to approximately 11.8 million in 2017. This number has almost halved in size over the past 10 years.
The two types of roller skating
Roller skating is a recreational activity or sport where participants can choose to use either inline skates or 2x2 wheel skates. Inline skates typically have two to four wheels that are arranged in a single line. 2x2 wheel skates, or quad skates, have two front and two real wheels. In 2017, there were approximately 5.3 million participants in inline skating in the U.S., while 2x2 wheel skating proved the more popular of the two engaging around 6.3 million U.S. participants.
Who spends the most time on outdoor activities?
It has been found that children participate more often in outdoor activities than older age groups. In a 2017 survey it was shown that 61 percent of children aged six to twelve participated at least once in an outdoor activity. Comparatively, only 37 percent of respondents aged 45 and older participated in outdoor recreational activities."

Finding the Fulcrum: Reclamation of Appalachian Identity through the Transiti...Berea College
Purpose - The purpose of this report was threefold: 1) to explore the development of a network arts, crafts, cultural heritage and natural resources trail systems that lead to Appalachian local economic development, 2) to collect user trail type, frequency, and duration on separate multi-state, multi-county, multi-use path in a rural Appalachian community, 2) to estimate the health impact of the trails. Six case study networks trail systems and outcomes are provided. This report was for the 40th Annual Appalachian Studies Conference that took place March 9th-12th, 2017 in Blacksburg, VA.
Boom in Live Events that engage the audienceAri Bancale
Interest in live experiential events like music festivals, sporting events, and theater is growing significantly. Google research found queries for sports tickets on Google increased 32% from 2012 to 2014, while concert revenue for Live Nation Entertainment rose 29%. Most consumers spend 2 weeks researching events online, primarily using search engines, social media, ticket sites and videos. They tend to purchase tickets within a month of the event, with 71% of tickets bought online. Mobile and tablet usage for event information and purchases is also increasing rapidly.
The Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge lacks awareness in the community. To address this, the strategic communication plan outlines goals to increase overall awareness, bring in a more diverse audience, and stimulate year-round attendance. The plan proposes tactics such as sending news releases to local publications, creating social media accounts, suggesting hashtags, distributing flyers locally, and engaging community groups to promote programs and events. Evaluation of the tactics will track media coverage, social media followers and hashtags, response from community groups, and attendance/donations.
Live event attendance is healthy and remains a mainstream activity in the US. Nearly two thirds (62%) of Americans told us they attended a live event in the past year, and for those that did attend, the average was 6.5 events. Both these numbers are up compared to 2011. LiveAnalytics tracks US live event attendance and purchase behavior for consumers aged 18 and older. This is the 4th wave of a study that is conducted annually and the second wave where year over year responses and trends are comparable.
The top type of pleasure trip/vacation chosen by global citizens is RELAXING AND SEEING SOME OF THE SIGHTS (35%), followed by OUTDOOR LIVING and STRICTLY KIDS AND FAMILY (both at 19%), and IMMERSED IN CULTURE (17%). COSMOPOLITAN and THRILL SEEKING are the least popular choices at 5% each. Germans are most likely to choose relaxing sights (45%) while Saudis prefer cosmopolitan (12%) and Russians thrill-seeking (9%).

This document contains a study conducted by students at Middle College High School at HCC Gulfton on voting trends in Harris County, Texas for the 2014 election. The study found that early voter turnout has decreased since 2010 despite population growth. The students created an early voting information guide with locations, dates, and historical voter data to address the lack of centralized information and encourage more people to vote early. Their research method included collecting daily early voting data and comparing 2014 results to 2010 and 2012, finding that efforts are needed to maintain momentum in voter turnout.

Is Africa’s youth engaged enough to be empowered?Afrobarometer
The document summarizes findings from Afrobarometer surveys in 36 African countries regarding political and civic engagement among African youth ages 18-35. Some key results are:
1) Political and civic engagement is generally lower among African youth than older citizens, particularly in terms of voting and attending community meetings.
2) Attendance at campaign rallies is the most popular form of pre-electoral engagement among young Africans.
3) Young women report lower levels of engagement than young men across most indicators, with significantly less interest in public affairs and discussion of politics.
Fishing remains among the most popular outdoor activities for adults, according to the 2016 Special Report on Fishing released by the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF) and the Outdoor Foundation in July. The report reveals that more than 2.5 million people had their very first fishing experience in 2015, and a total of 45.7 million Americans (15.6 percent of the U.S. population) participated in fishing.
This document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted by the RFU National Youth Council on youth volunteer engagement in rugby. The survey received 961 responses from 16-24 year olds across England. Key findings included that young people want to volunteer but are unaware of opportunities. Time constraints were a significant barrier. Motivations included giving back to rugby and building skills and experience. The document outlines several recommendations to address the issues, including better promoting the Young Rugby Ambassador program's flexibility, offering discounts on courses for volunteer hours, and increasing youth representation on committees.

Nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area have long struggled to find and keep affordable space in the region’s red-hot real estate market. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a new array of space challenges for nonprofits. Nonprofits now face new challenges - renegotiating leases, shedding unused space, adapting spaces to meet physical distancing requirements, even expanding to meet increased demand for services. Even without the staggering economic consequences of the pandemic, the future of nonprofit workspace is in flux as many nonprofits have moved to remote working arrangements and are considering alternatives to the future of workspace.
In late 2020, in collaboration with Community Vision and the Nonprofit Displacement Project, NCG commissioned a survey to better understand how COVID-19 has impacted the operations and workspace needs of Bay Area nonprofits. NCG engaged Harder+Company Community Research to design and conduct the survey, which explored 3 core areas: how the pandemic has impacted Bay Area nonprofits’ programming and operations; impending eviction and financial concerns; and nonprofits’ future workspace plans. These findings will inform NCG and their partners as they develop strategies to support nonprofits in their current and future workspace needs.
The survey summarizes the responses of 9,899 student members of the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) ages 15-32 on their political engagement and views.

Males prefer internet/print news and check news more, while females prefer TV/social media.

Volleyball, born in 1895 through the inventive mind of William G. Morgan, originated as "Mintonette" within YMCA circles in Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA. Quickly evolving from its humble beginnings, it underwent a significant name change to "volleyball" as Alfred Halstead aptly captured its essence during an early exhibition. With standardized rules established, the sport spread rapidly, finding fertile ground within YMCA organizations and beyond. The formation of the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) in 1947 marked a pivotal moment, ushering in a new era of international recognition and growth. Volleyball made its Olympic debut in 1964, captivating audiences worldwide with its fast-paced action and competitive spirit. Over the years, beach volleyball emerged as a popular variant, further diversifying the sport's appeal. Today, volleyball stands as a global phenomenon, celebrated for its athleticism, teamwork, and universal accessibility, embodying the enduring spirit of camaraderie and competition.

Key Findings
OUTDOOR PARTICIPATION
• 146.1 million Americans ages 6 and over, or
49.0% of the US population, participated in
an outdoor activity at least once in 2017.
• Outdoor participation slightly increased from
48.8% of the US population in 2016 to 49.0%
in 2017.
• While 13.6 million Americans returned to or
started participating in one or more of the
outdoor activities measured, 11.9 million
discontinued participation. That equates
to a net gain of 1.7 million total outdoor
participants and a churn rate of 8.3%.
• Participants went on a total of 10.9 billion
outdoor outings in 2017, a decrease from
11.0 billion in 2016.
• 20% of outdoor enthusiasts participated in
outdoor activities at least twice per week.
• Running, including jogging and trail
running, was the most popular activity
among Americans when measured by both
number of participants and by number
of total annual outings.
• 19% outdoor participants lived in the
South Atlantic region of the US, making

The Leaky Bucket
The leaky bucket analysis explains where outdoor participation grew from 2016 to 2017. During the calendar
year, outdoor activities attracted 13.6 million participants who tried outdoor activities for the first time or
returned after a hiatus. The loss of participants was slightly less—11.9 million people stopped participating—
which netted 1.7 million more participants from 2016 to 2017. Due to the large number of participants joining
and leaving outdoor recreation, the churn rate increased from 6.0% to 8.3%.
New/Returning
Participants
New outdoor participants made
up 4.1% of total participants, or
6.1 million people. Returning
participants, those participating
after a break from outdoor
activities, made up 5.2% of
participants, or 7.5 million people.
Lost Participants
11.9 million people stopped
participating in outdoor
recreation in 2017. The attrition
rate increased since 2016 when
8.6 million people stopped
participating in the outdoors.
Continuing Participants
The majority of participants,
90.7%, continued participating
in outdoor activities from 2016
to 2017. That equates to 132.5
million people.

Method
During the 2017 calendar year, a total of 30,999 online interviews were carried out with a nationwide
sample of individuals from the US Online Panel of over one million people operated by IPSOS. The
total panel is maintained to be representative of the US population for people ages six and older.
Over sampling of ethnic groups took place to boost response from typically under responding
groups. Data is based on Nielsen’s measure of the population in the United States, ages 6 and up,
which is 298,325,103 individuals.
The 2018 participation survey sample size of 30,999 completed interviews provides a high degree
of statistical accuracy. All surveys are subject to some level of standard error — that is, the degree
to which the results might differ from those obtained by a complete census of every person in the
US. A sport with a participation rate of five percent has a confidence interval of plus or minus 0.27
percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.
A weighting technique was used to balance the data to reflect the total US population ages six and
above. The following variables were used: gender, age, income, household size, region, population
density and panel join date. The total population figure used was 298,325,103 people ages six and
older.
Unless otherwise noted, the data in this report was collected during the latest 2018 participation
survey, which focused on American participation in the 2017 calendar year. 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009,
2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 data noted in the report was collected in previous
surveys.
Charts in this report may not always add up to 100 percent exactly. This is a result of rounding errors
and the errors do not persist in the unrounded data.
About the Physical Activity Council (PAC)
The survey that forms the basis of the Outdoor Participation Report is produced by the Physical
Activity Council (PAC), which is a partnership of leading organizations in the US sports, fitness and
leisure industries. While the overall aim of the survey is to establish levels of activity and identify
key trends in sports, fitness and recreation participation, each partner produces detailed reports
on their specific areas of interest. Partners include: the Outdoor Foundation (OF); National Golf
Foundation (NGF); Snowsports Industries America (SIA); Tennis Industry Association (TIA); United
States Tennis Association (USTA), International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA);
Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA); and USA Football.
Youth Interviews
All interviews of children under 13 were carried out following the guidelines set out in the Children’s
Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). No children were contacted directly. The panel
is a balanced sample of households with children in each age group, but contact is always made
through designated adult panelists. The adult panelist receives the survey invitation on behalf of
a specified child, age 6 to 12, and they are asked to complete the survey together. Respondents
ages 13 to 17 are contacted in a manner similar to respondents ages 6 to 12, but they are asked to
complete the survey themselves.
