  "summary": "A recent poll has found that Americans believe children benefit greatly from playing organized sports, with learning teamwork and reducing screen time being key advantages. The survey, conducted by AP-Ipsos, showed that about half of US parents with K-12 school-aged children say their kids participate in structured sports.\n\nHowever, the poll also revealed that higher-income families are more likely to enroll their children in organized sports. According to the survey, about 7 in 10 parents with a household income of at least $100,000 annually say their children play organized sports, compared to about 4 in 10 parents with a lower household income, as reported by the Associated Press.\n\nMany parents view participation in sports as an important part of their child's childhood, but the out-of-pocket expenses can be significant, particularly for lower-income families, as noted by both The Hill and the Associated Press.",
