DISC (formerly Davis Indoor Sports Center) offers a variety of programs, activities, equipment, and amenitites; combining specialized facilities for inline hockey, soccer, volleyball, and fitness. It shares the building with Explorit Science Center, located on the south side. Sac City Rollers train and have their roller derby home bouts at DISC. DISC was mentioned in a Sacramento News & Review article about the Rollers in the 2007-09-13 issue.

The Davis Enterprise reported on 2/23/2006 that DISC would close on 3/31/2006 after struggling financially for several years.¹ However, a group of local families involved with the Davis In-Line Hockey Association formed Top Shelf LLC and negotiated to lease the rink from the Harrisons to prevent it from closing. The group also plans on purchasing the rink by the end of 2006. Other parts of the building are being leased to other businesses.² More details can be found at http://savedisc.org, which was created in early March 2006 to raise funds to save DISC.

Since the Harrison family wanted to keep the name "Davis Indoor Sports Center," the facility is now properly refered to as simply "DISC."
