OYM & Jaguars Tri Youth Club: Nine Years and Counting!
OYM loves kids - especially ones who LOVE being healthy!
That's why we're especially psyched to be back out at Dyer Park every Wednesday evening at 5 p.m. for our weekly OYM-hosted youth bicycle training sessions with the Jaguars Triathlon Youth Club. Join or drop in on any of the practices. You can call the shop and talk to Julie for more info on what the Wednesday evening cycling/running practices are like, etc.
The Jaguars Triathlon Youth Club was developed to encourage youth of all ages and abilities to become more active in a fun, team-oriented environment through the growing sport of triathlon.
The club is focused on teaching proper form, skills and goal setting through the three disciplines of triathlon and to inspire and empower kids to be their best. The Jaguars' dedicated team of experts encourage sportsmanship and camaraderie while working to help develop youth as they perform to the highest level of their ability.
Jaguars Triathlon Team - The primary training and racing group consists of Youth aged 7-12 years and Juniors aged 13-15 years.
The Jaguars Triathlon Team competes in local, state and national triathlons. Jaguars triathletes also race Bike Time Trials, 5K's and fun runs.
Youth Elite Team - These athletes are aged 12-15 years.
