Purpose of the Team Captain
Program
The purpose of team captains is to provide ongoing
support for all Team In Training® (TNT) participants so they are
able to meet their fundraising and training goals and complete the program
with a high level of satisfaction and success.
Goals and
Objectives for Each Team In Training
Participant:
Raise at
least the designated minimum of
funds
Attend at least 75% of coach-led training sessions and other team
events
Complete the target
event
Experience a sense of team spirit and
camaraderie
Feel supported in accomplishing these
goals
Receive one-on-one attention throughout the
program
Team captains are integral to the realization of these goals. To make it
possible for team captains to assist their participants and perform their
responsibilities we make every effort to limit the size of groups to 10-15
participants per team captain. We also attempt to match team captains with
participants by geographic area. Please note, however, that due to team size
and make up, this may not always be possible.
