SelecTri Teams

SelecTri is committed to following the USOPC’s American Development Model (ADM) in order to provide the best sporting experience for youth athletes. Our training groups are based on the guidelines from the ADM as well as race categories at local and national races. Our team has a recreational team for kids aged 6-18 and a competitive team for athletes aged 10-18. Our rec and competitive teams are then split again by age.

All of our programs focus on all 3 triathlon sports as well as transition. Coaching is done by USA Triathlon, USA Swimming and USA Cycling certified coaches. We also provide coaching at 10+ local triathlons every year. Not only that but members have fun at our annual Christmas party, mini races, and Tour de SelecTri.
