Week 3 YOUTH SPORTS

Consider the impact sports has on youth today. What affect does playing highly competitive sports have on today’s youth? Who are the primary influences on youth in sports today? What are the positive and negative aspects of sports on youth?

APA formatting requires assignments to be submitted in a font and page set-up that is readable and neat. It is recommended that students try to adhere to a consistent format, which is described below.

· Typewritten in double-spaced format with a readable style and font and submitted inside the electronic classroom (unless classroom access is not possible and other arrangements have been approved by the professor).

· 12-point font size and Times New Roman style is preferred.

· Page margins (top, bottom, left and right) should be 1 inch, with reasonable accommodation submission of a minimum of 300 words (excluding sources),made for special situations and online submission variances.

· Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

· Incorporation of weekly course resources and weekly lessons including the proper in-text citation of two (2) credible sources. A general example of an appropriate in-text citation would be (Smith, 2020). In-text citations are extremely important since they allow the reader (instructor or classmates), to know what was written by the student and what was provided from an external source. Also, students must provide the respective URL for sources utilized at the bottom of each forum post. That way if your instructor or classmates would like to read more about your source, access will be available. Any URLs with broken links will not satisfy forum requirements. However, the URLs for sources do not need to be formatted according to APA guidelines.
