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 Sandra Roy, 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.
