When the first COVID-19 relief bill was passed last spring, we gathered a group of experts to help youth and local sports organizers understand the impact that it would have on their organizations. Provisions in this latest round of relief, including those that now reflect our industry\'s needs, raise new questions for us all— so we\'re co-hosting an event with the PLAY Sports Coalition to dig into it. Join the PLAY Sports Coalition and industry experts in a three-part conversation: Part 1: Your Relief - With PPP round two and new tax credits and provisions, we want to get youth sports leaders what they need to uncover any potential federal relief.

As we flip the calendar from 2020 to 2021, it is easy to think that things will simply return to \\\'normal\\\'. A vaccine has begun rolling out, professional sports are coming back - sans bubbles - but last year has proved to us that sport will not be the same going forward. We spent a lot of last year learning about racial inequities, humanizing athletes and acknowledging the need for change. Coming into this new year, how do we move from acknowledgement into action? And what are the tough conversations we need to have in sport for 2021? It\\\'s time to have the tough conversations on mental health, youth sport and DE&I (diversity, equity and inclusion). On the next show we talk to the experts who are doing the work to create solutions that impact the future of sport.
