Knutsford Triathlon Club
Knutsford Tri Club (KTC) is a very friendly triathlon club that are hoping to develop a Youth section for 15 – 17 year olds. We have secured funding for a free 10 week trial aimed at giving a weekly coached track session alongside adult KTC members at Timperley Athletics Track on Thursday evenings 7pm-8pm from May – July 2022.
Part of the focus will be on the all-round young person and as well as the physical benefits associated with training. It will seek to contribute to a sense of independence and autonomy, an increased personal confidence as well as opportunities to lead, grow and develop ‘soft’ skills such as empathy and communication.
For more information please contact Liz Parris (Coach) lizparris@ntlworld.com
