Applications for Play On! Sports Vouchers, which helped 22,790 Moreton Bay children in their first year, have opened again.
In total 218 sports clubs accept the Queensland Government vouchers, with 180 clubs offering disability programs.
The vouchers are designed to promote inclusivity and help youngsters across the state get active and participate in organised sport.
Each voucher is valued at up to $200 and helps reduce membership fees and participation costs for children aged 5 to 17 years.
Football, rugby league and netball were the most popular sports among voucher recipients in Moreton Bay.
Participation among girls in sport increased by 30 per cent with 129,050 girls benefiting from the program.
