Arran
Summary
We are a triathlon club for children from the age of 8 training 4 times a week.
Description
We have 40 local children that attend the junior triathlon club weekly on Arran. We hold 3 swim and run sessions and a cycling session every week. We have 6 volunteer coaches. We are looking for funding to help with the pool costs and the competition costs of sending our athletes to the mainland which usually includes overnight accomodation due to early start times.We are also looking for funding to help with the costs of training new coaches and current coaches. The cost breakdown is as follows:
Pool hire £150 per week for 6 weeks = £900, New coach foundation triathlon course £100.
How have young people been involved in shaping this project?
We encourage as many people to join our club but we do have a waiting list due to not being able to afford more pool time. If we received the grant, we would be able to take on new members. We also encourage older members (age 14 -17) to help coach with us. We have provided trial days at the local schools for primary aged children and have listened to what they enjoy doing.
