The Coast Guard recognizes sports as an essential part of health and physical fitness as it directly impacts the readiness of our workforce. Coast Guard MWR policy supports active duty athletes by offering financial assistance to defray participation costs in sporting events authorized by the MWR Sports Participation Grant program.

 

The program supports grants for individual competition entry fees. Team entry fees, memberships, league dues, licenses, training programs, equipment, etc., are not permitted. If competing in an individual sports competition during NAF year 2024 (1 Feb 24 through 31 Jan 25), you may request a sports grant.
