Creates grants to boost youth sports, making them safer and more accessible for kids under 18.
The STRONG Kids Act would create a new federal grant program. This program would help local youth sports groups improve their programs, make them safer, and reach more kids, especially those with fewer resources or disabilities. It aims to improve health and positive development for young people through physical activity.
Today, there is no specific federal grant program to boost youth sports nationwide, focusing on health, development, and access. If this bill passes, the Department of Health and Human Services would create a program to give grants to larger organizations. These organizations would then provide smaller grants (between $10,000 and $50,000) to local groups. This money would help improve and expand youth sports for kids under 18.
