Junior Development Program

 
The Junior Development Program (JDP)'s primary purpose is to identify and support Junior ACT triathletes to reach their potential, whilst enhancing ACT’s presence at National Junior Selection competitions and development opportunities. 

The Junior Development Program (JDP) has been amended this season after consultation with coaches Corey Bacon and Megan Hall. As all athletes have their own coaches and a majority are training in the same squad, we felt it was important to provide opportunities that aren't usually available in a daily training environment. Therefore the 2019-2020 JDP will not have regular training sessions. The program will be reviewed at the end of this season to see whether this approach is appropriate in future seasons. Replacing the program the following has been arranged:

• Minimum 4x Athlete Workshops, which are open to all Youth, Juniors, U23 and Elite athletes
• Triathlon ACT JETP Trisuits & Polos for those athletes who will be competing in the Australian Junior Triathlon Series and National Championships and Australian U23 Series and National Championships) - Athlete sizing and orders completed in September 2019.
• Support for ACT coaches selected for the Triathlon Australia National Development Camp
