May 25, 2011
The Tri-Valley Triathlon Club (TVTC) will be holding our first High School Season, this summer 2011!
TVTC is excited to lead the first high school triathlon club in the area!
All practices will be held in the Tri-Valley area in Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin and San Ramon. Youth will be introduced to the wonderful world of triathlon, and all the life long benefits that cross training has to offer. They will also meet and train with other kids their age from other area schools.
We have professional swim, bike, run and triathlon coaches, that will help each athlete prepare for, and complete a triathlon in September. There will be 3-4 coached practices a week, each with education on topics including bike maintenance, run form, pool and open water swim technique, daily and race nutrition, and other topics necessary for a successful, safe and fun season.
You do not need to be an athlete to join! We teach you all the fundamentals! Boys and girls ages 13-18 welcome!

The season will culminate with completion of either the Pacific Grove Olympic distance or sprint distance triathlon in Pacific Grove, CA.
The high school program will be led by Coach Liz Elliott, who brings 19 years of teaching and coaching, including head coach of high school and year round swim and triathlon clubs.
"We're hoping to introduce young people in the Tri-Valley area to the life long benefits of cross training and participation in the growing sport of triathlon," Coach Liz Elliott said of the "There is a large demand for something organized in the area," Joe Hartley, a parent of a participant had to say.
The Summer High School Group is a team effort between TVTC and the Boy Scouts of America TriCrew, a non-profit organization that trains high school students for a triathlon and raises money for in-need high school students to attend summer camp.
