GBC Youth Tri Camp for Novice Triathletes
Great Basin Coaching and Murray Parks and Recreation

ATHLETES MUST HAVE SWIM SUIT, GOGGLES, BICYCLE, HELMET AND SHOES SUITABLE FOR RUNNING.
Who: Children 7-12 years of age
What: Swim, bike, run, transition, nutrition/hydration coaching

Where: Murray City Park
Cost: $40 Registration by June 24 to
ensure T-shirt on time. Includes t-shirt and USAT membership fee.
There is no day-of registration. Day-of registration makes it very difficult to ensure the safety, fun and quality experience that every child deserves. Quality programs require quality planning.
Registration: Registration can be done
online at www.sportsbaseonline.com.
(You may also mail in registration forms
if you wish.)
A great opportunity to train for

Great Basin Youth Tri Team
Great Basin Coaching and Murray Parks and Recreation
This program is geared towards children and youth with prior triathlon experience or experience with a swim team or track team. Focus will be on healthy, long term athlete development and will follow appropriate age-graded guidelines for coaching skills as well as fitness in a fun and safe environment.
Children will train for local triathlons as well as National Youth Championships to be held in San Diego Aug. 6. Jo Garuccio will attend that race as the group's coach. The 9-15 year old group can expect to swim, bike and run distances commensurate with national super-sprint standards for their age group. High school students who are 16 years old and up will train for a standard sprint distance race.
If participants choose to attend nationals, the majority of the athletes will compete in the non-draft legal national race. There is currently a wait list for the elite draft legal races.
ATHLETES MUST HAVE SWIM SUIT, GOGGLES, BICYCLE, HELMET AND RUNNING SHOES. A road bike is nice, but not absolutely necessary. However, if the athlete is using a mountain bike, it should have street tires.
Who: Youth 9-15 years old with prior triathlon experience OR team experience in one of the three sports; interested high school students 16 years and older shoul contact Jo.
What: Swim, bike, run, transition, nutrition/hydration coaching, principals of training and a 6-week training program; group will do at least one open water swim
Where: Meeting places will include Murray City Park, Jordan River Parkway, Murray Track, and possibly Sugar House Park; open water swims will be held at Blackridge Reservoir.
When: Tuesday and Thursday from June 21 to Aug. 11
Cost: $120 for 16 workouts; $80 for 8 workouts.
What you get for $80 or $120!
1: 8 or 16 coached workouts between June 23 and Aug. 18.
2: A workout schedule from June 23 - Sept. 5; athletes have suggested workouts for 5 days of the week. If they also participate in other team or sport workouts and classes, they can either choose to add these workouts to the day or opt out. If kids are active at least 60 min. per day, they’ll be pretty fit. If you up that to 120 min. per day – great! Two hours per day is more performance oriented, but they most likely don’t need two hours every single day. And, some sports are not as taxing as others. Team schedule posted on website.
3: 2-3 youth races with coach present.
4: Club membership: Great Basin Multisport.
5: Team uniform available, but optional. Cost TBA.
