USA Kids Tri Arizona is brought to you by the Tridave Legacy Trust. Dave Alexander, longtime founder, is a founder of the Tridave Legacy Trust. Tridave Legacy Trust's independent philanthropy will help introduce the sport and its lifelong health benefits to youth in the Phoenix area and provide five years of support for coaches, school outreach, training programs and event entry fees for Phoenix-area youth getting involved with triathlon.

“Triathlon is a terrific sport that has done so much for me over the years. I’ve always said if I can do a triathlon, I can do anything,” said Dave Alexander. “Getting kids involved in triathlon will expand their life. The sport will expand their athletic and mental capacity. It is an amazing sport with a wonderful community and the work the USA Triathlon Foundation is doing is just terrific."

USA Triathlon aims to grow youth triathlon and multisport by introducing the sport of triathlon in community centers, as well as connecting students to triathlon coaches, clubs, and races. USA Kids Tri Phoenix will be launching numerous different triathlon programs for youth athletes across the region. These programs will be hosted a various different community center host sites where athletes will learn the fundamentals of swimming, biking and running and also prepare for a local youth race with their friends.

The goal of this program is to introduce the sport of triathlon to new athletes and give everyone a chance to participate by eliminating any barriers of entry into the sport. All programs will include coaching from a USA Triathlon Certified Coach, access to triathlon equipment and the opportunity to participate in their first multisport event.
