Michigan’s first USA triathlon certified youth triathlon club

The Boom! Pow! Crew empowers all kids to be active, and confident in making healthy lifestyle choices through participation in multi-sport activities and events — with an emphasis on FUN!

We believe that long-term athletic skill development through multi-sport builds strong, confident, well-rounded athletes. As a team, we nurture a growth-mindset, character, teamwork, leadership and hard work — a powerful mix of essentials that make up the awesome sauce that nourishes our growth.

We like to call it our Boom! Pow!

Our philosophy — 5 core beliefs:

  • We believe that there is an athlete in each of us. We are dedicated to coaching and developing the essential skills, fitness and character needed for kids of any level to become successful athletes.

  • 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.

  • We strive to cultivate in our athletes both physical literacy, and a lifelong love of sport in a fun, high-energy, safe, TEAM environment.

  • We are committed to developing our athletes using the USA Triathlon American Development Model, prioritizing skills and speed development, without the premature application of endurance stress, ensuring our athletes are primed to go faster, longer when their bodies are physically ready.  

  • 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.
