Be a part of the Youth Triathlon Commission
Join the youth triathlon commission
Triathlon Ireland is relaunching the Youth Triathlon Commission – and we want YOU to be a part of it! Applications are now open.
If you’re aged 14* to 16 and love triathlon, this is your chance to shape the future of the sport, share your ideas and make your voice heard.
What’s the Youth Commission?
The Commission will bring together 12 young triathletes from all over Ireland. Together you’ll:
- Share your ideas on how to make triathlon even better for young people.
- Give feedback to Triathlon Ireland on decisions that affect you and your peers.
- Help inspire more young people to get involved in triathlon.
You’ll meet a few times a year – both online and in person (Triathlon Ireland Headquarters at the Sport Ireland Campus, Dublin and the National Triathlon Centre, University of Limerick) and work with the Triathlon Ireland Team to make real change happen.
Why join?
Being part of the Youth Commission is a brilliant opportunity to:
- Work with other young triathletes who love the sport as much as you do.
- Develop new projects and ideas to grow triathlon.
- Build skills in confidence, communications, teamwork and leadership.
- Represent the voice of youth athletes across triathlon, duathlon and multisport across Ireland.
You’ll also get the chance to meet the Triathlon Ireland Team, visit the National Triathlon Centre at the University of Limerick and attend fun, hands-on workshops at the National Sports Campus in Blanchardstown, Dublin!
Commitment
We just need you to commit to the Commission for 2 years if possible.
We’d also need you to attend;
- Four in person sessions during the year (plenty of notice will be given )
- Virtual Sessions with your group and Triathlon Ireland
