The students I teach grow up in poor socioeconomic backgrounds. Many of them attend schools that yield a high percentage of free and reduce meals. The ethnicity build up of the students are 45% Hispanic, 43% African and the remainder a combination of other races. The Hispanic students come from Central America where soccer is the only sport they play in schools as well as a leisure sport and when they migrate to the USA, they have a difficult time accepting any new sport. Conversely, African American males participate primarily in basketball and football because of their household culture since their toddler stage and when introduced to other sports, they are unreceptive to it because of a lack of knowledge.
