usat certified triathlon club

We are Michigan’s first USA Triathlon certified youth and junior triathlon club, founded by Kim Murray, a former high school teacher and Ironman finisher with over 10 years of triathlon experience. She holds a USA Triathlon Level 1 Short Course certification, and USAT Level 2 Youth & Junior Elite Coaching certification. The Boom! Pow! Kids Tri Club (aka the Boom! Pow! Crew) is a part of Mighty Mitten Multisport, multisport company dedicating to introducing and making multisport accessible to under represented youth in Michigan.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to coaching and developing the athlete in every child, meeting them where they are and encouraging progress over perfection. We strive to cultivate not only physical literacy and a lifelong love of sport but also strength of character, responsibility and leadership, supporting the whole athlete, in a fun, safe, team environment.

We are thoughtful and intentional in our program development which is founded on our commitment to following the USA Triathlon American Development Model, prioritizing skills and speed development, without premature application of endurance stress, with a methodical application of triathlon-specific skills that supports the athlete’s progression in the sport.

We believe introducing youth to a multi-sport lifestyle early reduces single-sport burnout and supports the development of well-rounded, balanced athletes, primed for life-long fitness success.

Finally, we believe that sport can, and should, serve as a platform for positive social change. In order for us to realize its unifying, transformative potential, we strive to ensure that youth sport is healthy, safe, and inclusive for all. Most importantly, we believe that all kids, regardless of zip code or ability, should have access to high-quality youth sport experiences.

Mighty Mitten Multisport’s Boom! Pow! Crew competes in local and regional races, including the USAT Youth & Junior National Championships. We look forward to seeing you at a multisport event soon!
