WHO WE ARE
Fitness-4-Down’s (F4D) goal is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition for the Special Olympics and Non-Olympic individuals. F4D uses a variety of sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Our aim is to give them continuing opportunities to develop strength and physical fitness, while experiencing joy through learning different skills and building friendships with families and the community.
​
Empowering Lives Throughn Inclusion And Support
​
F4D believes that by using sports, people with intellectual disabilities can discover and create new strengths that they never thought possible. They can also discover new abilities that they never knew existed and skills that could in fact create a more meaningful life of success. We have come to understand and appreciate that individuals with special disabilities are more likely to find great joy, comfort, and confidence through sports training rather than a recreational or competitive effect. By using the principles of sports, F4D also has witnessed that others are inspired by these generous acts in there local and worldwide communities, when they experience these unique individuals participating in sports activities.
