Our Mission - To provide children ages 5 - 17 of the community a safe and healthy environment to develop life skills through organized competitive events and furthermore present opportunities to include the adult promoting them as a role model for active living. 

Goals - Organized youth sporting events will benefit children & families by providing a healthy and safe environment to develop life skills.

Healthy - Training and participating in races and triahtlons supports a healthy lifestyle for children.  Today, with the focus on nutrition and combating childhood obesity, this company provides a healthy alternative.  Post-race clinics on health, fitness, and nutrition will be presented by subject matter experts at all events.

*

Safe - Any sporting event provides a outlet for children to focus their attention and energy.  Children are very impressionable and this program provides a safe outlet for them during their formative years.  Participation in the network of races will provide children a safe extracurricular activity or hobby.

*

Life Skills - Sports and competition are important in developing life skills in all children.  This program helps children develop many life skills: self-confidence, self-esteem, commitment, focus, dedication, resolve, determination, motivation, sportsmanship, and a healthy competitive spirit.
