USA Triathlon aims to grow youth triathlon and multisport by introducing the sport of triathlon in schools and community centers, as well as connecting students to triathlon coaches, clubs, and races. USA Kids Tri New Jersey and Pennsylvania will be launching numerous different triathlon programs for youth athletes across the region. These programs will range from after school programs to summer camps to triathlon teams.
The goal of this program is to introduce the sport of triathlon to new athletes and give everyone a chance to participate by eliminating any barriers of entry into the sport. All programs will include coaching from a USA Triathlon Certified Coach, access to triathlon equipment and the opportunity to participate in their first multisport event.
