public policy in sports

Public policy in sports refers to the rules, laws, and regulations governments create to organize, promote, and regulate athletic activities. It aims to ensure fair competition, protect athletes’ health and safety, provide accessibility and equity for all communities, and support the development of sports infrastructure. These policies can influence funding for schools, safety standards for stadiums, anti-doping measures, and inclusion efforts. Ultimately, public policy seeks to foster a positive, safe, and inclusive environment for sports that benefits individuals and society as a whole.
