E2P Youth/JR - 2023 Training
What is the E2P Youth & Junior Program?
The Endurance 2 Perform youth & junior multisport program is designed to encourage developing young athletes to discover the joy, health, and teamwork available through multisport activities. It also focuses on fostering self-confidence and personal growth in multisport activity by training for local events and potentially qualifying for Nationals.
We know your kids are REALLY busy, so joining the Endurance 2 Perform youth & Jr team either for fun or for elite development does not require a huge commitment! Most kids are already swimming, biking, and running this summer, so our goal is just to teach them how to put it all together so they can get out on the racecourse and have fun!
Who can participate?
Any E2P team athlete (7-11 and 12-17) loves to swim, bike, and run and wants to have fun doing it! Strong swim, bike or run skills are NOT required!
Spring & SUmmer Clinics
Save your weekends and come join us on Tuesday evenings for 6 fun clinics and mini events this summer! Sign up for all 6 clinics or sign up for your favorite clinics individually. All clinics are appropriate for ALL athletes - even those who are not necessarily strong swimmers, bikers or runners.
Splash & Dash Clinic Series
This is a series of 3 clinics each followed by an unofficially timed mini splash & dash event! The clinics will teach athletes all the fine details of the swim, the run and transitioning between the two. By the third clinic, athletes will see improvement in their time and ability. Great for novice athletes! For those youth and junior athletes with experience, this is a great opportunity to practice your skills and get even faster!
Distances for the events are as follows:
Youth 7-10: swim 100 meters, run 1 K (.62 mile)
Youth 11-15: swim 200 meters, run 2 K (1.24 miles)
Youth 16-17: swim 300 meters, run 2.5 K (1.5 miles)
Parents/guardians are needed to volunteer at the events - it takes a village!
Equipment needed: goggles, towel, sneakers, a bathing suit you can run in, shorts and T-shirt, water bottle.
