 
As Christmas approaches, we ask that you remember the DFF in your holiday plans. While preparing for your holiday celebrations with friends and family, it's important to stop and reflect on the blessings in your own life while also being aware that not everyone is so fortunate. While shopping for gifts, please consider setting aside part of your budget to support the work of the DFF with a charitable donation.

Ashlenn - One of our talent students
"
It is hard to put into words how much the Discover Fitness Foundation continues to do for your family! We are extremely thankful to the DFF for awarding Ashlenn with the scholarship. Allowing Ashlenn to participate in this experience has molded her sportsmanship, body awareness and discipline. She puts in the hard work and sees great rewards. None of this would be possible if it weren't for the scholarship so graciously given by DFF!" - Ashlenn's Mother
A note from Ashlenn:
"
When I go to gymnastics I choose healthier eating habits and see my body growing, when I compete I get to see my hardworking pay off. Thank you donors for the great opportunity."

The DFF hosted a two day clinic on November,10-11 for preschool and special needs coaches. The course instructor was National Clinician Beth Gardner. The first day consisted of a dynamic classroom lecture on human development and early childhood. The second day was a hands on training session in the gym. We had a great turn out with 5 gymnastics gyms in attendance. If you missed the clinic and would like to attend - don't worry we plan to hold another one in February!
