These programs are 100% funded by us -- the Whitefish Freestyle Inc. non-profit
All programs are contingent upon yearly fundraising. All elements listed below are not guaranteed to be paid by our non-profit should funds not be available to cover these scholarship items. The more we fundraise, the more we can provide support for the Whitefish Freestyle Inc!
Dryland & Preseason Training
Team-wide dryland training at Flathead Gymnastics Academy is 100% paid by WF Freestyle Inc. Ariel training is critical for an athletes to improve agility, strength and spacial awareness. Athletes take the skills learned indoors to their outdoor training on snow, making it safer to try aerial tricks with the practice gained from dryland training.
Event Fee Scholarships
WF Inc. refunds home competition event fees for athletes if they apply for any of our Event Fee Scholarships. We believe all those who want to compete should have a chance, free of monetary pressures of event fees. This team-wide benefit is only available if there are enough funds available after other priorities are satisfied.
Coaches Education
Our dedicated coaches teach and encourage our kids on their journey, as well as keep them safe while under their guidance. WF Freestyle Inc. is dedicated to providing funding for WMR's freestyle coaches seeking coaching education such as specialized licenses & certifications. Some examples include avalanche safety courses, ISFA coaching certification, AASI Freestyle specialist certs, USSA coach certifications, etc.
