Youth Program

 

Formed in 2016, Mojo Triathlon Youth team exists to provide opportunities for children to foster a love for the sport of triathlon along with all the health benefits, social fun, traveling experiences and discipline learned along the way.  Our team is composed of kids of all sizes, ages and skills levels. 

Dates: 9 Sunday sessions-May 22, 29, June 5, 12, 19, 26, July 3, 10, 17 4:30 - 5:45pm

Location:  Lakota YMCA 6703 Yankee Road, Liberty Township, OH

Sessions will consist of swim, bike and run with appropriate distances per age group (7 to 10 and 11 to 15 years). No experience is needed but these are not learn to swim programs.  Child should be able to independently swim one length of the pool with any stroke method with or without a flotation vest.  The swim will be at the indoor pool and then transition at Liberty park behind the pool with biking and running.  Tips for transition will be covered at each session.  Two sessions will be run/bike/run on May 29th and July 3rd meeting only at Liberty Park. 

What to bring: Bike, helmet, shoes, water.

What we will work on:  Having fun and being active together.   We will provide instruction on transition, endurance as well as basic triathlon knowledge and “lingo”. 

Cost: $45 per child going to youth program and activities.

Each registrant will receive a t-shirt that we will all tie die as a group activity at one of the sessions and a pair of goggles. 

Please send a response with Venmo with your child’s age and shirt size to @Matthew-Witte-31..

West Chester is currently home to the USA Triathlon Youth and Junior Nationals.  There are also other local race opportunities for the kids to experience.
