Our Triathlon Program is composed of athletes of all sizes, ages, and abilities. Some of these individuals may be experienced youth and junior triathletes, while others may be participants of other sports, and some have never been involved in sports and are participating in triathlon for the first time.
The focus is; creating a safe, fun, encouraging, and inspiring team environment, in which athletes can learn, train, and compete in the sport of triathlon. Triathletes train to their age appropriate developmental stage, current conditioning, experience, and skill level, to accomplish their individual goals.
Prerequisites and Equipment:
Proficient in the freestyle swim stroke, have a bike in good operating condition, approved bike helmet and a good pair of running shoes.
Training Levels:
Youth: Ages 6-12 and Junior 13-18 - In this group of entry level athletes, the inherent emphasis is on safety, fun, and skill development. Athletes develop the correct skills for swimming, biking, and running through sport specific, skill development training. Athletes at all levels of development should enjoy their training and racing experience. This is accomplished through a variety of skills based training, positive experiences, and positive social interaction with coaches and fellow triathletes.
Youth Elite: Ages 13-15 - This goal oriented group of triathletes usually has several years of training and racing experience. While still in a developmental stage, these triathletes are mastering swim, bike, and run techniques, building base, and speed to advance in future years. These athletes have usually chosen the sport of triathlon as their primary sport and want to further develop their skills, knowledge, training, and performance with a goal to perform at the Junior Elite level. These triathletes are generally on an Individual Training Plans (ITP).
Junior Elite: Ages 16-19 - This higher and usually more experienced level of goal oriented triathletes has usually developed from the Youth Elite and has been training and racing for a number of years. They are furthering their mastery of swim, bike, and run techniques and are training specifically for future opportunities within the highly competitive ranks of national and international competition. Regional and national development opportunities are available to help hone the skills of this more elite competitor. These triathletes are on Individual Training Plans (ITP).
High Performance Team (HPT) Program - A HPT is organized around the purpose of identifying, recruiting, and developing elite level talent. These individuals come from the ranks of the Junior Elite and are provided with opportunity to continue training and competing with their home team. In this manner, younger triathletes are exposed to their training commitment and performance standards on a regular basis. These individual team members work very closely with their coach and his sports performance staff to move strategically through the USA Triathlon developmental pipeline
