This bill establishes a federal grant program to help elementary and secondary schools expand and improve their youth sports programs. Schools can use the grants to add new athletic offerings, pay for facilities and equipment, cover travel costs, or provide other financial support to remove barriers that prevent students from participating in sports. To be eligible, schools must comply with Title IX requirements and must agree not to discriminate based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex characteristics. The bill prioritizes funding for schools that focus on increasing athletic opportunities for girls and women, particularly in sports where they have historically been underrepresented. The Secretary of Education must establish the program within one year of the bill's enactment, with grants available for one academic year at a time.
