Agreed. We have a local tennis club who pick and chose which children can join. Not on ability or merit but who their parents are.

most sport is open to all children,it doesnt cost dat much to do most track sports not when your a kid,also most of the great soccer players learned on the street so dat cant cost much,most sports organisation for kids are run on a volanteer basis anyway so a lot dont require a great membership fee if any at all,but in regards to horse riding,golf , cycling , motor sports, water sports and so on and anything that you need to spend money on to get a start,then yes i do completly agree with you,but dats just life and its always goin to be that way

Sport is open to all children. You do not need to be rich to partake in a lot of sports. There are a lot of sports like football, athletics etc available to all people, so just get up and GO.

Take football for instance, argue-ably the three greatest players the world have ever seen were from the poorest places in the world! Z Zidane started playing on muddy roads in Algeria, his parents were extremely poor. Ronaldo could not even afford football boots, and maradonna was from a favella in Argentina!
Need money to be good at sport? i think not!

I agree. Going down to local sports centre is one thing, but when it comes to sports like golf, cricket etc if you don't have the money, tough, no matter how gifted you are. Some kids get a lucky break, and there are always football clubs, but thats about it, unless you have a bottomless purse.

For sure, Ibet the worlds best rally or f1 driver lives on a council estate somewhere but is never going to get an opportunity to try it. Jenson Button only got where he did because they had enough money to fund go-karting when he was younger.

Take a look at how much money some footballers get paid a week.
Not many of them came from rich families.

who says that every famous sports person belongs to rich family. i think someone hurt ur feeling that's how u asking this unpractical question. history is full of selfmade sportsmen. even ppl who think that rich ppl are something different. then i would like to tell u that. 90% of rich ppl in UK are self made. only 2% inherit things from their family or parents. so stop hating rich ppl.

in the UK, apart from football (and I would say Rugby League too although that wasn't mentioned), there is a large bias towards successful sportsmen and women being from middle-class or privileged backgrounds.
