This squad is designed for the age group athlete who wants to utilize group sessions, but also have the choice of an fully customized individual training program.  Training load expectations are less, with the emphasis on doing what you can, when you can.  Of course we still offer the challenges of a 'well structured hard training' opportunities, but it is tempered with completing it in very much a fun, team environment.  With triathlon, multisport and adverture racing becoming highly popular the need for specificity in training and more so group training becomes evident.  Triathlon and more-so 'mulitisport' can be very taxing for the individual, but what we are trying to provide is a highly motivating team environment, where the athlete can draw not only on thier personal coach for guidance, but also thier team mates.
