Fair Play for Women Act

The Fair Play for Women Act (S 3762) strengthens Title IX protections for women and girls in school sports by requiring federally funded schools to annually report detailed data on athletic participation, funding, and facilities by sex and race. It mandates annual training for school staff and athletes about Title IX rights, creates a public database of Title IX coordinators, and establishes civil penalties for schools that fail to comply with gender equity requirements. These provisions apply to all elementary, secondary, and higher education institutions receiving federal funding, directly affecting student athletes, coaches, and athletic administrators. The law aims to increase transparency about gender inequities in school sports programs, which include documented gaps in participation opportunities and unequal treatment. By requiring detailed reporting and training, the bill seeks to address persistent gender inequities in school sports programs.
