Madison Multisport Junior Team
The Wisconsin Junior Triathlon Team aims to give kids of Wisconsin an opportunity to be involved in a youth and junior triathlon team environment, with dedicated coaches, which will teach them sportsmanship, discipline and skills to succeed.
We offer a cohesive team environment, bringing everyone together weekly to learn and develop all aspects of triathlon; swim technique, bike safety and skills, running form, and transition skills. We will also participate as a team in several local triathlons each season.
Based on our last 5 years of working with over 50 area youth, we have already seen lives transformed through participation in sport as athletes gain confidence and the life skills necessary to reach beyond what they previously thought possible of themselves.
Practices start June 14, 2017!
Wednesdays: 6-7:30 @ the East entrance to the UW Arboretum (Intersection of N Wingra Drive and McCaffrey Drive). This location will allow for great access to safe running & cycling routes as well as open water swimming at Wingra Beach.
Additional practices pending, including 3 planned trips to swim and run at Devil’s Lake.
Practices run for 11 consecutive weeks, culminating at the Sugar River Sprint Triathlon.
End of season party (not to be missed!)

Price: $150 for the whole summer
Also includes a free Madison Multisport t-shirt and water bottle.
