JUNIORS

JUNIORS PROGRAM

Redcliffe Tri Club offers a junior triathlon training program for school age children. We aim to provide safe training environments overseen by qualified, experienced coaches.

Age – 8 years and up (with children age 5 – 7 able to join Monday night run session)

Our junior program aims to develop triathletes and give them the opportunity to progress in the sport to whatever level they aspire to.
