SCHOLARSHIPS

LIFT Florida is proud to offer assistance for aspiring athletes and competitors through athletic scholarship opportunities. There are currently 6 athletes that are recipients of scholarship assistance from LIFT Florida.

Scholarship benefits differ between each Athlete Development Center, but at Sandbox Weightlifting this year our athletes received: coaching at a reduced rate, free membership to Sandbox Athletics, and payment of entry fees to all local weightlifting meets. Additionally, a new Eleiko squat rack was purchased.

All participating athletes are encouraged to apply for an annual scholarship. LIFT Florida’s eligibility requirements include:

Scholarship athletes must participate in at least 2 practices per week, for 4 weeks.
Scholarship athletes must participate in 1 CrossFit or Athletic Development class per week.
Scholarship athletes must participate in fund raising activities. Examples of past fundraising events: Youth Fitness Bike Ride, Shrimp Lift, fundraising dinners.

LIFT Florida recognizes that not all athletes are driven to compete in Olympic style Weightlifting meets. We understand that some athletes have limited time to dedicate to training. LIFT Florida believes that athletes that don’t competitively lift are still ATHLETES. We boast having wrestlers, volleyball players, tennis athletes, and baseball players on our roster.
