The USA Triathlon Winter Development Camp is a four-day camp for athletes 12 (by Dec 31, 2013) to 19 years old, held in Tempe, Arizona. The camp is the perfect place to enhance your triathlon skills under the supervision of an expert coaching staff. Participants will take part in daily swim, bike and run workouts. They will also participate in USA Triathlon benchmark testing. They will receive one-on-one sport-specific instruction, as well as lessons in goal setting, the art of balancing school sports and triathlon training, detailed information on how to move through the USAT athlete development pipeline, available USAT age specific opportunities and race strategy for non-drafting and ITU-style (draft-legal) triathlon competition.



Emphasis will be placed on developing correct bike handling skills and road safety, open water specific swim skills, correct running form, transition speed as well as many other related skills.



Athletes will enjoy getting to know peers who share a similar interest and passion for the sport of triathlon. This camp is open to all levels of interested triathletes. Each athlete will be evaluated and placed in an appropriate age/ experience group. Performance data collected at the camp will be shared with USA Triathlon and could result in invitations to participate in subsequent USAT national programs.



Each athlete will need to bring a road style bicycle and road style helmet (non-aero helmet). They should not have bar end TT type shifters or aero bars. If you do not have a road bike available, we may be able to help you rent or borrow one, please contact the camp director for more information.



Each athlete is required to be able to swim 200 yd in a pool comfortably, cycle comfortably for 60 minutes, and be able to run for 15’ comfortably. A camp itinerary and necessary items for camp will be sent by email 2 weeks from the date of camp.
