TRI Game Sports™ (TGS) is a multisport training program for that provides all the necessary equipment teen athletes need to start out and excel in the sport of triathlon. It is for high school and middle school participants ages 13-18.
TGS includes swim instruction, cycling (on our new fleet of Trek bikes that will be used on stationary, "smart" trainers in a "gamified" atmosphere), and running skills. No experience is needed in any of the three sports - our USAT certified coaches will teach them everything they need to excel in all three sports!
Athletes enjoy riding the road bikes indoors on the big screen where they can travel various routes while seeing real time data like speed, cadence, and power thanks to our computerized technology.
At the end of our training season, athletes can "TRI out" their newly developed or enhanced skills with a TRI Game Sports™ racing event that is exciting and fun and participate in local triathlon events!
Through the sport of triathlon, we are opening doors of opportunity for new NCAA women's college scholarships, college TRI club teams, and lifelong sporting skills. Currently, over 40 colleges are providing NCAA scholarships for women and over 80 colleges have club teams!
In addition, athletes who complete at least 2 seasons (6 months) of training with TRI Game Sports are eligible for our Fit 2 B Kids annual scholarship! One male and one female athlete are each awarded a $2,500 scholarship at the end of the year. F2BK Annual Scholarhip
Most importantly, we are developing an atmosphere of camaraderie while encouraging kids to dig deep, develop skills of athleticism, perseverance and determination so they can cross any finish line in life with confidence!

Athletes wanting to participate in these events will often participate in occasional additional training such as an open water swim practice in Annapolis and/or training runs and bike rides on the B & A trail.
