Athlete of the Month 2025
Austin Youth Fitness Athlete of the Month is a showcase of the talented young people in our community. The power and spirit of our youth is limitless, and AYF thinks it's important to let other young athletes know what their peers are doing in the fitness community.
Congratulations to the following AYF Athletes of the Month!
March Athletes of the Month!

Davis and George are the reason we have the Mueller biking club! They participated in our summer camps, loved it, and then their family reached out to get a club started in their neighborhood. They were nominated by their coach because "Davis and George are enthusiastic athletes and you can always count on them to bring playful energy to biking club. They start games during breaks on the ride, making sure to include the whole team. Davis and George always bring the FUN!"
In addition to biking with AYF, George plays baseball, basketball, flag football and soccer. This past season, his basketball team was undeafeated! He also loves to sing and play the piano and he is in his school's choir. George loves all things NYC (where he was born), especially the Mets & the Nets.
In addition to biking with AYF, Davis plays baseball, soccer and basketball. He also loves art and Pokemon. Davis loves animals, especially his dog Phife and his new kitten Frankie!
Davis and George's favorite thing about school is the same: getting to play with friends! When George grows up, he wants to be an NFL player, and when Davis grows up, he wants to be a zookeeper.
George loves AYF because "the coaches are all really nice", and Davis says he loves "making new friends!"

February Athlete of the Month!

Avery participates in AYF's running club at Forest Trail Elementary. She was nominated by her coach because "Avery comes to every running club with a big smile on her face. She compliments everyone, always wants to help and only has positive things to say. One of her biggest attributes is that she is considerate. She is always watching and helping another child in the group. She goes out of her way to include this child and makes sure they are playing and having fun."
In addition to running with AYF, Avery is finishing her 4th season of basketball and has goals to learn tennis and martial arts. This past Thanksgiving, Avery did her first 5K. What a milestone!
Avery's favorite things about school are PE, numbers/math and art. When she grows up, she wants to be a dentist or engineer.
Avery loves AYF running club because of "the fun atmosphere and coaches!"

Their excitement for running and biking is infectious and unwavering! We love Ben & JJ!"
