The three disciplines together create a great cross-training opportunity to provide an overall fitness routine while helping to reduce injuries from repetitive strain when focused on one sport. It also introduces variety compared to a focus on a single sport discipline. This is a benefit regardless of the age of the participant.<\/p> In general, there are two youth age bands: Ages 12 – 18 (Recreational and Competitive)<\/b><\/a>:<\/b>\u00a0This age band offers two streams within the Junior Team; recreational and competitive. The recreational stream is a continuation of the age 6 – 12 program; to provide an opportunity for physical fitness and personal skill improvement. The competitive stream is for youth that have goals of achieving leading results at local, provincial, and national multisport events. Both streams are in alignment with the Canadian Long Term Athlete Development model.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t We are currently seeking a Youth\/Junior coordinator to facilitate this program.

Options are available for swim and run sessions, with arrangements to join the recreational cycling group in the spring.<\/p> Competitive participants<\/b>\u00a0have the objective to excel at triathlon and multi-sport race events. These youth should expect a minimum of two to three swim sessions and two to three run sessions a week, together with a balanced addition of a cycle and strength program. Oversight of an appropriate program combining the correct balance of training in the various triathlon disciplines, together with technique and performance improvements for each, is provided by certified coaches.

The goal of the FUNdamentals program is to provide an opportunity for youth to participate in a multisport activity to have fun and promote fitness. Because this is a multisport activity cross-training is built-in and participants will gain overall fitness, balance and agility. Kids will also gain confidence by participating in local youth-oriented multisport events.<\/p>
