We are Reps and
Sets Team Salina, Inc. We are a Kansas not-for-profit corporation
dedicated to providing opportunities for all youth of the Salina, Kansas
regional community, regardless of socio-economic background, to engage
in the sport of USA Olympic weightlifting, as a member club of USA
Weightlifting which is itself a I.R.C. 501(c)(3) organization and a
member of the United States Olympic Committee and of the International
Weightlifting Federation. Reps and Sets Team Salina, Inc., conducts a
variety of events aimed at developing Olympic, World, and Pan American
Games champions in the senior and junior levels. The club also provides
opportunities for Masters and others to compete in Olympic weightlifting
as part of the USA Weightlifting. The club operates under a team-format
in which the youth participants are expected to maintain positive levels
of behavior in their school work, their conduct toward their coaches and
teammates, and at home. Each participant is charged an annual fee of a
minimal amount in order to
maintain membership in USA Weightlifting and to emphasize the commitment
required by the youth to perform at the highest level under the club
guidelines, which include never allowing weightlifting to interfere with
school work, showing good judgment in abstaining from alcohol and
tobacco for minors, and showing respect for fellow-competitors. The club
does not, however, turn away youth who are financially unable to meet
the membership dues and raising funds for scholarships are a priority
for the club. The club participates in competitions in the Missouri
Valley region, encompassing Missouri and Kansas, as well as in Colorado
and in "home" competitions in Salina. Mission:
