Key Points
Trump issues a National Women and Girls in Sports Day message praising women athletes from youth sports through the pros.
The statement points to Title IX as the main federal law behind equal sports opportunities for women and girls.
It says the administration has signed executive orders aimed at enforcing Title IX, including rules about who can play in women’s sports and protecting scholarships.
It warns that sports programs that, in the administration’s view, “reject biological reality” and limit fair and safe chances for women will not get federal funds.
For families and schools, the practical takeaway is that federal money could be on the line for athletic programs based on how they set eligibility rules for women’s teams.
