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 2009-2010 TQ
will be supporting three development squads and will offer support that is commensurate with the
level of squad that the athlete has reached.
|
TQ Development Squad
TQDS
[14 23 years] |
This squad provides an opportunity for Queensland Juniors and
U23 triathletes to develop new skills and experiences in a positive
and enjoyable environment. These athletes may be beginning their
journey along either the elite or age group pathway. |
|
Junior Emerging Tri Squad
JETS
[16 19 years] |
to provide an opportunity for aspiring elite Queensland Juniors to
develop new skills and experiences in an environment that
demands commitment. |
|
TQ/QAS Metro Squad
[16 23 years] |
to provide access to excellent support services to assist talented
athletes who have demonstrated commitment to the sport and
aspire to pursue selection into the QAS program |
These squads not only cater for the differing levels of talent within the Junior and U23 ranks in
Queensland, but also provide opportunities for athletes who do not aspire to become elite. In addition,
the structure provides a progressive pathway of support for those athletes who want to pursue
excellence and are committed to becoming an elite triathlete.
Draft Legal Triathlon Race Requirements for all 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.
