Away game: NYC students who play sports for other schools

NYC students of color face disparities in sports access due to a policy replacing large high schools with smaller ones, leading to fewer teams. A 2022 lawsuit settlement created the PSAL All-Access Program, allowing students to join nearby school teams if their school lacks a sport. Despite this, 38% of Black and Latino students attend schools with 20 or more teams, compared to 61% of other groups.
