The first line graph illustrates the monthly expenditure on children’s sports of parents in Britain from 2008 to 2014. Meanwhile, the second chart compares the number of British children playing 3 sports over the same period. Overall, it is evident from the first chart that the monthly spending on children’s sports witnessed a steady increase. Moreover, in the second chart, all kinds of sports shared an upward trend in the number of young players over the 6 years.
In detail, as can be seen in the first line graph, precisely 20 pounds was allocated to children’s sports per month in the first year of the period before a minor escalation of 5 pounds in the next 2 years. After 2010, the average spent on kids’ sports rose marginally and remained at more than 30 pounds in 2014.
According to the second paragraph, football gained the most popularity among British youngsters over the period, with slightly more than 7.5 million players in 2008 then going up to around 9 million players in the next 6 years. Meanwhile, slightly under 2.5 million children went swimming in 2008, which more than doubled the number of teenagers doing athletics. Both these figures climbed to approximately 2.5 million between 2010 and 2012. After that, the number of children in athletics surged dramatically and reached its peak at 5 million before dropping slightly in 2014. At the same time, the number of children going swimming showed a gradual growth to approximately 3 million.
