Gifford Fitness has two Youth programs - GiffyFit Kids (ages 3-10) and GiffyFit Teens (11-18). Gifford Fitness Youth programs not only build sports performance, but also aims to drive a wedge between the modern trend of unhealthy habits that trickle down to our youth - and instead teach confidence, bravery, leadership and healthy habits.
The Gifford Fitness Youth Scholarship Fund provides support to youth athletes and removes financial barriers to training opportunities with Gifford Fitness.
FOR ATHLETES
About the Scholarship

How to Apply
Applications are accepted through this Google Form.
You’ll share some basic info, tell us the season you’re applying for, the membership you’d like, and submit a 3-5 paragraph short essay.
applicant selection
We have limited scholarships each season. In addition to available funds, here are the considerations we make when we are selecting new members:
- A complete and thoughtful application
- The ability to commit to classes consistently every week
Priority consideration will be given to applications received by the 15th of the month prior to the season (for example, February 15 for the Spring season). Scholarships may be awarded mid-season, if available.
Renewal
Each season we will review applications for new and renewed scholarships. Scholarships and memberships must be renewed each season.
SUPPORT THE PROGRAM
Community support of the scholarship program is key to its success. With your outreach to prospective athletes and your financial support of the scholarship fund, the Scholarship can meet its full potential.
Here’s how you can help!
Provide Financial Support
Support youth with a one-time contribution:
Support youth with a monthly contribution:
If you don’t see your preferred amount, email info@giffordfitness.com and we’ll set you up with a custom amount.
All contributions will make a significant difference in an athlete’s life, no matter the amount!
Recruit an athlete
If you happen to know of a youth athlete who would benefit from training with us, the first step is to set up an intro with Coach Nick. It will give the athlete and parent/guardian(s) a chance to sit down, talk about goals, and see if the gym and program are a good fit. The second step is for the athlete to apply for the scholarship.
