MacTri Juniors is really the heart and soul of what we stand for at Macarthur Triathlon Club. Almost half of our club membership is under 18 and of those members it's almost 50/50 male/female. MacTri Junior is our programme for supporting those athletes of all ages and at all levels.
Our junior programme is centred around our club races with all of our juniors encouraged to race at every opportunity. Some club races also contain a training session focussing on technique and skills. Outside of this environment our juniors tend to continue their training in swimming squads and Little Athletics.
MacTri Juniors are supported in their attempts to qualify for high-performance programmes. Macarthur Triathlon Club has a relationship with the South-West Sydney Academy of Sport as the first step on the high performance ladder. Many of our juniors have progressed through to state level high performance programmes and even as far as the Olympic Games.
MacTri Juniors is about all of our under 18 members-be they racing for fun or wanting to push to a higher level.
