TQ Development Program
The primary purpose of the TQ Development Squads is to identify and support Junior and U23
Queensland triathletes to reach their maximal potential, whilst enhancing Queenslands presence
at National Junior and U23 selection competitions and development opportunities. In 2011-2012 TQ
will be supporting three development squads and will offer support that is commensurate with the
level of squad that the athlete has reached.

Draft Legal Triathlon Race Requirements for all ITU Junior/U23 athletes
Any athlete who has not been endorsed to race in ITU Junior events or the School Sport Australia Senior
Draft Legal race must have their skills assessed by one of the TQ assessors. This must be done prior to
competing in any draft legal race this season in order to ensure your safety and the safety of the other
competitors. Once you have completed this process you will be able to race in Junior Draft Legal events
whilst you are age eligible.
