Juniors
NTC has a thriving juniors section, led by coaches who are qualified in working with children and young people.
Our juniors - aged from eight to 16 - form a great team and support each other in training and racing.
We have a great bunch of athletes who regularly take part in triathlons as well as running, swimming and cycling.
Lots of our juniors compete in the West Midlands Junior Triathlon Series. In 2019 seven of our juniors took podium positions in the series – more than any other club in the West Midlands.
We have dedicated sessions for the juniors at our weekly interval run session and at our open water swimming sessions.
In addition we hold specific cycle training sessions off-road (in a large car park) for juniors and beginners in the summer months.
We also provide occasional training in transition skills for juniors and beginners, so your move from the bike to the run is as quick and smooth as possible.
Our coaches are fully DBS certified and will ensure that all juniors can train in a safe environment in which their needs come first. The club has a dedicated safeguarding officer and follows BTF policies for safeguarding.
They will be encouraged to push themselves and be competitive but have fun at the same time.
A smile is compulsory!
