Your Support Makes the Difference

Together, these Olympic Training Centers host more than 20,000 athletes and their coaches each year from the 45 sports in Olympic or Pan Am programs. With support of generous donors, the United States Olympic Committee is able to provide an athlete the opportunity to train at an Olympic Training Center for $75 a day or $25,000 a year. If athletes were to seek these same services on their own by finding their own facilities, equipment, trainers, nutritionists, sports medicine, and accommodations, it would cost $300 each day or $100,000 each year. By supporting Team USA, you allow an athlete the ability to live at a centralized training facility and optimize their focus and competitive edge at a fourth of the cost!

The Olympic Training Centers provide:

• Coaching education
• Sports medicine
• Sports science assessment and analysis
• Housing and dining
• Training
• Facilities
• Local transportation 
• Athlete services and professional development programs

This combination and centralization of services and support create a unique environment that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. It could not be done without your support. Thank you.
