The line graphs show the average monthly amount that parents in Britain spent on their children’s sporting activities and the number of British children took part in three different sports from 2008 to 2014.It’s clear that parents spent more money each year on their children’s participation in sports over the six-year period. In terms of the number of children taking part, football was significantly more popular than athletics and swimming.In 2008, British parents spent an average of around 20 pounds per month on their children’s sporting activities. Parents spending on children’s sports increased gradually over the following six years, and by 2014 the average monthly amount had risen to just over 30 pounds.Looking at participation numbers, in 2008 approximately 8 millions British children played football, while only 2 millions children were enrolled in swimming clubs and less than 1 million practised athletics. The figures for football participation remained relatively stable over the following 6 years. By contrast, participation in swimming almost doubled, to nearly 4 million children, and there was a near fivefold increase in the number of children doing athletics.
