Development Squad

 

Triathlon Tauranga Youth Development Squad 

 

 The Triathlon Tauranga Development squad attracts athletes from Year 7 to Year 13. Under the guidance of dedicated

coaches and coordinator Lyndy Wickham, the squad meets regularly throughout the season for seminars and training sessions. 

 

We are fortunate to have senior members who have their Triathlon NZ Level 1 coaching qualifications, and who are keen to

pass on their knowledge and skills in the fast-growing sport of triathlon. 

 

With many strong athletes in its ranks, the media profile of the squad has been high since 2003 when they competed at the

NZ Secondary Schools Nationals in Queenstown. The group has increased in strength and now we have former members being 

selected for the Triathlon NZ Development Squad to compete overseas. Most of the athletes who have reached this level have

gone on to their own coaches. 

Youth Development Squad for 2011-2012 triathlon season commences after Labour Weekend on Wednesday at 4pm with coach Lyndy Wickham (Ph: 027634 5156 or email: pbcoaching@xtra.co.nz)
