The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of youth sport participation on a student’s likelihood of attending college. A cross sectional dataset of approximately 12,000 eighth grade students, located in the United States is used. The decision to attend college is modeled as a function of high school experiences, extracurricular involvement, grades, test scores, and educational aspirations. The probit model results indicate that sports in general increased the probability of a student attending college with statistical significance.
