YOUTH DEVELOPMENT TEAM

USAT Youth Premier MEMBERSHIP: $25 (click here!)

 

The Barracuda Tri Youth Development Program focuses on teaching the sport. Athletes will learn the details of each discipline; swim, bike, and run, as well as how to “transition” from one sport to the next. All training will be done in a manner that is Safe, Educational, and always FUN, but with the goal of learning the skills necessary to race, and how to push through challenges.

Athletes will gradually be introduced to more advanced training and racing strategies to help them perform in competitive youth age group races and Super Sprint distance events.

Practices take place twice per week.  A number of local races will be on the schedule, and we HIGHLY encourage you to register for 2-3 races during the season!  

*Requirements: Triathletes need to be able to swim 100-500 yds. freestyle stroke continuously, have a properly fitted bicycle (and helmet) in good working condition, and be able to run 1-3 miles continuously

Barracuda Tri is a great way to introduce your child to the sport of triathlon and ensure that they are confident, relaxed, and well prepared to do their best!

Parent Testimonials

“Jeff’s knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment to the kids and triathlon is unquestionable. He pushes them hard, whilst keeping it fun. As well as fitness, Georgie’s technical knowledge and co-ordination on the bike and through transition has improved immeasurably.  Georgie’s favorite training sessions are Open Water swimming in the Sound at Rye in the summer.” – Bess and Georgie Spark

“My son (10) has been a member of the Barracuda kids team for the last two Spring/Summer seasons and he enjoys it so much! Coach Jeff runs an excellent club and both new and existing members enjoy his enthusiasm, the fun and discipline he brings to training them. Triathlon is such a great sport for kids because they get a balanced, all-over body workout. You also don’t need expensive equipment to start out with; just some goggles, running shoes, & a bike. You can always upgrade where necessary if your child has a real passion for it. We would highly recommend Barracuda to anyone wanting to try out a new exciting sport.” –Doreen H.
