Key Insights:

  • Young adults (18-34) dominate (~47% combined in 20-39 bins), flipping the “seniors-only” stereotype. 0 
  • 25-34 is the single largest group (~2.3M in 2023, scaled to ~2.8M now). 26 
  • Seniors (65+) still strong at ~24% (~4.7M total).
  • Youth boom: Fastest growth in kids/teens. 31 

These are conservative estimates—actual 2024/2025 single-sport report may vary slightly, but this matches all public data.
