Youth Development Squad

Build skills. Grow confidence. Make friends.

The TriHB Youth Development Squad is designed to help young athletes develop their swimming, cycling and running skills in a fun, supportive environment. Whether you’re new to multisport or already competing, our sessions focus on learning, teamwork and personal growth.



Develop confidence in the water

​​​​​​​Swimming is often the biggest challenge for young athletes. Our swim sessions focus on technique, confidence and efficiency, helping athletes become more comfortable and capable in the water while building a strong foundation for future multisport success.




Ride with confidence

From bike handling skills to riding safely and efficiently, our cycling sessions help young athletes gain confidence on two wheels. Athletes learn important skills while having fun and enjoying the best riding locations Hawke’s Bay has to offer.




Build fitness and resilience

​​​​​​​Running is the simplest part of triathlon, but there’s always something new to learn. Our run sessions help athletes improve technique, coordination and fitness while developing the confidence that comes from setting goals and achieving them.




Better together

One of the best parts of the Youth Development Squad is the friendships that are built along the way. Athletes train alongside others with similar goals, encouraging each other, learning together and becoming part of a supportive team environment.

The TriHB Youth Development Squad is for you.

Our next session is Sunday the 2nd of August.

No swim this time around as we look to mix things up by focussing on the bike, transition, a little bit of running and something fun to do at the end.

Details are:

Venue: Westshore Surf Life Saving Club (meet in in the car park)

Time: 9.30am - 11.30am

We will look to hold the bike training for the older kids around the streets of Westshore and for the younger along the paths. If your child has a rear bike light, please make sure that is attached, if not we will have some available.
