Performance vs. Participation or Correlation vs. C

Bandin . Makes some good points. Certainly a club can not depend on youth alone especially in the short term and attracting and training new older members is important too. 
But as Jim says this pool of youngsters is often a useful resource as they often return to the sport in their 40s and 50s when their lives are in better in a better place, both monetary and time wise .
Certainly most of our new members in the last few years have been in this age group and a lot of those have been returnees to the sport .
