New Gym
Team Florida Altamonte Announces: Regional Training Center
For a long time coming, TFL-Altamonte has been planning its expansion to a second facility. "It's finally here. We've done it", says head instructor and U.S. International Level Coach, Daniel Camargo.
For those who have been around a while, you may have noticed Altamonte has been achieving great things since their start in 2001. In fact, currently TFL-Altamonte has 4 athletes in scholarship programs (NMU & LSU-Shreveport) and 6 members on U.S. Teams (Quebec & Criollo Cup). "With the growth and success of our team, it was time to expand and operate morning, day, and night to accommodate athletes' schedule. We've been limited at a high school all these years but now we can even train non-athletes and clients wishing to stay in shape."-says Camargo.
TFL-Altamonte will not be leaving the high school arrangement however. They will be training in 2 different facilities but the biggest news is that the second facility is an extension of the already authorized USAW Regional Training Center!!!! (since September 2008). This is a great achievement for Altamonte, which will "allow more exposure and allow us to host training for teams from all over the U.S. or even internationally", says Camargo. However, Camargo stresses that "we will first take care of our state and make sure FWF athletes have an opportunity to take advantage of this wonderful facility. We have some big plans coming in the near future; stay tuned."
Congratulations TFL-Altamonte. We can't wait to check out the new place.
