Showcasing the power of PLAY Sports Coalition’s leadership & grassroots members, in March 2021 they effectively advocated for an allocation of tax revenue from mobile sports betting in the state of New York to go to youth sports nonprofits. Through this effort, a grant program started this year from 1% of this tax revenue, and going forward $5 million per fiscal year will be allocated directly to the program.

“The allocation of tax revenue to youth sports nonprofits is a huge win for youth sports in New York,” continues Frintzilas. “We are extremely proud to join forces with this group of leaders and game-changers in our industry and communities. I look forward to having a seat at this table and being able to engage in impactful conversation on how to bring the benefits of youth sports to children who are too often not able to join sports leagues due to socioeconomic status and other factors outside of their control.”
