TESTIMONIAL:
“It’s not only an honor
but a privilege to be
recognized by the
TAA. The process
has helped us define
and structure our
unique mission in full.
Providing a restart for
our beloved athletes,
combined with a
restart for humans,
has been rewarding.
With TAA accredita-
tion, the process is
more authentic and
complete.”
