ALL-STAR SPORTS CLINICS
Since DDF’s inception, we have enjoyed providing sports clinics to the youth of the DC metropolitan area. Partnering with local agencies and organizations, we teach essential life skills and values through sports and team play. We believe in the POWER of Presence! Passion! Play! One of the ways DDF sets itself apart from other programs is the All-Star aspect. We partner with local major league players and sports icons to come out and teach the clinics! Each clinic also includes a small “huddle” with our representative All-Stars. Through the power of presence and play, it is our goal to impassion our young people to get more active and involved in their health and the community, and become All-Stars in life. To provide additional support, DDF also provides clinic participants with equipment that they can take home. DDF’s primary clinic has been baseball. We are expanding our clinics to also include football and basketball to better our community outreach. If you know of any youth or groups that would like to participate in a clinic, please contact us. We would love to help set one up! |
