Developmental Team

The Developmental Team is designed for beginner to intermediate triathletes aged 7-15, who enjoy active, physical movement and are motivated by the challenge of practicing multiple sports. Throughout the season, participants will develop as individual athletes and as members of a team, mastering new skills and discovering athletic talents. A program highlight includes watching our athletes compete in local youth triathlon races – racing as individuals, but as part of the Boom! Pow! Crew.
