The objectives for the osbm funds are: expand and enhance the state games; increase awareness and marketing efforts for the state games, with an emphasis on targeting rural areas of the state where participation has historically been lower; provide registration and travel stipends through an application process to teams and individuals who are not financially able to register and/or travel to the state games; improve coaching and officiating for youth sports in the state of north carolina by providing training and certification programs with the state games; administer the youth sports grant fund created by the sports wagering legislation.
