Welcome to Team 3xTri - Race Team, Development Squad and Junior Triathlon Academy
Team 3xTri was launched in January 2009 to provide a professional and supportive training and racing environment for triathletes and developing coaches.
The Junior Academy
The academy was formed to provide junior athletes of the Hull and East Yorkshire area with access to high quality coaching and development opportunities in a safe and equitable environment, regardless of their gender, race, disability or financial services. By working closely with commercial partners and the local authorities the academy Team 3xTri can often provide free or heavily discounted access to the equipment and facilities required for effective training in addition to providing free coaching and guidance from qualified coaches and other sports professionals.
The Development Squad
The development squad gives senior members an opportunity to work in the team environment to develop skills in line with their specific requirements as an athlete or a coach. The squad has widely varied development requirements from those just starting out in triathlon to those wanting to get a little more from what they already do and advance to the next level. All senior members of the development squad are academy volunteers as a condition of membership, they commit to an agreed level of support to the junior academy from providing coaching support and sports specific guidance to volunteering to assist at junior events.
The majority of members of the development squad are qualified coaches, related professionals or athletes under development working with coaches at 3xTri, though there is membership opportunity for those either wanting to develop as a coach or volunteer in the community.
The Race Team
The team is a fluid entity within 3xTri made up of members of the academy and development squad, it is the end result of participation in the academy or the development squad and is the banner under which all 3xTri members race. Whether it be the junior squad racing at the Junior Championships or the senior squad racing at their annual target event, the Race Team is Team 3xTri.
