Our first Race Ready Program of the year starts on April 7th - CLICK HERE to find out more!


 

Triathlon is, in our opinion, one of the best activities any youth, adolescent, or college-age individual can be involved in. The physical benefits are many, and the character that it builds is invaluable. Most importantly, it's fun! As with other sports, the best way for an athlete to excel and experience maximum benefits is to train under the guidance of an experienced coach, who is focused on the developmental aspect of the sport.

Entering into the world of triathlon can be intimidating, and balancing effective training with important priorities like school, part-time jobs, family and friends can be challenging - when it should be enjoyable. Our programs are intended to make training fun, stress-free, and ultimately effective in helping athletes reach their goals.

We divide our athletes into two categories - “Youth” (ages 6-14) and “Developmental” (ages 15-collegiate) – in order to better serve our different ability levels. We produce races specifically for our youth athletes, while developmental athletes primarily participate in “adult” competitions.

Our youth and developmental athlete programs are lead by our experienced Lead Developmental Coach Morgan Johnson.  Please feel free to contact lead coach Morgan Johnson at morgan@playtri.com with any questions about our programs or youth/developmental triathlon.

We are proud to offer a variety of programs for younger athletes:

  • Youth Camps - Day camps for ages 6-14!
  • Race Ready Programs - Introductory programs for athletes ages 6-14 that coincide with one of our youth races.  Perfect for those new to the sport.
  • Team Playtri Kids - Our youth/developmental team meets twice a week to swim, bike, and run, and will participate together in the Playtri Kids races!
  • Playtri Youth/Developmental Coaching - For athletes hoping to train and race more consistently and effectively, while working toward specific goals.
  • Playtri Youth/Developmental One-on-One Sessions - For athletes who need specific, technical training and individual attention in one or more areas of the sport.

Our youth races are also a great way for kids to experience our favorite sport - especially if they participate in a Race Ready Program!  Our 2012 races are:
