1. The Coast Guard has always recognized athletic competition as an important part of health and physical fitness. 
In addition, athletic competition teaches teamwork, sacrifice and develops a will to win, dedication and esprit de corps. It is the Coast Guard policy to encourage and support all athletes, and this program provides financial support to help defray the personal cost of participating in sporting events.
2. Active duty members desiring funding assistance for sports competitions during NAF Year 2019 may submit a
request to CSC via their unit Commanding Officer, their cognizant authority for MWR purposes, and the supporting
Base, if applicable, for consideration.
3. Per Ref A, the deadline for all submissions for sports participation grants for NAF Year 2019 (1 February 2019 through 31 January 2020) is 4 January 2019. Since grant requests usually exceed available funding, requests received after the deadline will not be considered.
