TriJuniors Now Provides Bikes!

When we started the TriJuniors program, we knew the challenges we would face with kids and the sport of triathlon. The sport is financially challenging, considering the costs of equipment. Parents don't want to drop $1000+ just to see if their kids will like the sport.

Many families who have kids who might very well love the sport, might never be able to give their kids the opportunity to try it, simply because of cost.

I am very proud to announce that as of today, we can offer a Focus road bike to any kid in our program, FREE OF CHARGE! Any child who wants to be on our team, and is a member in good standing, has a bike to ride, if they need it.

We'd like to thank Focus Bikes for their generous sponsorship, in making this happen!

Looking forward to growing the sport even more!

Personalized Tech Tees for Each TriJuniors Team Member

Special thanks to Mizuno and Zoot, for their donation of tech tees for our team! Each TriJuniors team member gets a tech tee PERSONALIZED with their last name on the back. So far, the kids on the team love it! Here is a photo of Coach Vance's tee, with "Coach" also on the sleeve.

We want every team member to feel like they are a part of something special, and are a valued member of the team, and this is just one of the ways we do that. If you see a young person wearing this shirt, cheer them on!

If you're interested in coming out to a practice, or have a son or daughter 13-19 years of age, and want them to be a part of a team environment, enjoying the sport of triathlon with other kids their age, let us know and we'll be happy to have you out for a practice to see what you think. Our team is growing in size every week, and we're excited for more to join us!
