Program Description and Philosophy
Following on from ETPAs philosophy of educating through activity, the junior development program aims to provide an opportunity for young athletes to try Triathlon in a fun, safe environment. Aimed at 8 to 14 year olds our program will introduce young and aspiring athletes to various aspects of the sport whilst providing opportunities to train and race.
Participants are introduced to Swimming, Cycling, Running, Transition and Race Day activities with an emphasis on enjoyment and education. Anyone can attend, with the minimum fitness requirement being the ability to swim 50m freestyle comfortably.
Throughout the program we try to work with each athlete to improve both technique and fitness, which will ultimately allow participants to compete in an ETPA fun race or a main stream junior Triathlon event.
The ETPA fun race days are held during the school holidays directly after each respective school term to ensure the new skills each participant learns are put into practice.
