Our team consists of
individuals who have the desire to have fun and utilize their
God-given potential in the sport of triathlon. Whatever your
level of fitness, ability, or competition, Tri4Him JET has a place
for you and your child's desired level of involvement. Our
goal is to use our passion for sport, faith, and young people to
develop their skills to their maximum potential and interest in the
sport: and to do so in a FUN, safe, and friendly environment.
Participating in a sport like triathlon is about much more
than maximizing your physical abilities, but developing the
character traits and discipline that transfer to being successful
in life.
Team

into multiple groups to provide young athletes of every commitment

respect for teammates, fellow competitors, and officials.
