The end of the season is upon us, what a great time we all had, all the kids performed to their best. their outcomes were good & the processes they are starting to learn are showing some fruition.
"Learn to Train"
The WTC jnr coaching team is going to run 2 sets of time trials over the next 6 months, the first is coming up in 2 weeks & the last at a date to be set in July. Please see the attached spreadsheet which sets out the current qualifiying times at a Junior Elite level. All juniors turning 13 this year (or older) are welcome to attend no matter their times. Wed 25th March is the running trial at Sydney Academy of Sport, 5pm, followed by the swim trial at Terry Hills Swim School on Saturday 28th March at 2pm.
The purpose of these trials are for the kids to guage where they are at in terms of end of season (peak fitness) & to form some indicators for those wishing to apply through me to trial at the Sydney Junior Triathlon Academy trials in/around August/September this year. We can then form specific training schedules for these aspiring athletes that will help them move towards achieving these goals.
In true terms, selection trials are open to kids who, at a minimum are turning 13 the year the trials are run. Some of you have children a year or 2 younger than this, but the trials will allow them to have something to aim for in the future.
If you wish for your child to have a go, please confirm with me. Print off the attached sheet, fill out what you need & bring along on the day. If you know of other children that fit within this profile, please feel free to forward this to them & have them contact me for confirmation.
Thanks
