Established in 2013 our junior section is open to children aged 8-17 and offers fully coached training sessions in all three disciplines: swimming, cycling and running. Juniors need to be either family members or junior members of the club to attend any of the coached sessions.
We hope that you will enjoy the experience of being a club member through training, competing and club social activities and make many new friends.
Coaching Philpsophy
The primary goal of all coaching is to develop an environment that is both supportive and stimulating for junior and youth triathletes. This also allows equal access for all children who want to experience triathlon.
All coaches that support the development of children within the Club, are either BTF, Swim England, England Athletics or British Cycling qualified, have a Safeguarding Certificate and are fully DBS checked (working with children).
All coaches have a risk assessment in place for each session undertaken.
Joining the club
Prior to joining the junior section of the club, interested juniors are invited to attend a free trial taster session in each of the three disciplines. This not only introduces them to the club but checks that it is an activity they want to participate in, and for coaches to identify any particular needs that need addressing prior to joining sessions.
This also applies to children/youths who are already club members via family membership and siblings of existing junior members.
It is important that contact is made withthe Head Coach (email below) prior to the first attendance at a training session as we have a safeguarding responsibility when introducing new junior members to the club and at various times we have a waiting list in place.
For further information on joining the junior section of the club and attending taster sessions please email cravenenergytriathlon@gmail.com or HeadCoach.CravenEnergy@gmail.com
Once juniors are registered as active club members sessions need to be booked and paid for in advance via our training pages.
