Triathlon clubs in Wales can work towards achieving one of a number of recognised standards. These standards establish that the club is operating to best practice and is a safe and effective place to take part in triathlon. The benefits of becoming accredited are:
• http://www.clubmark.org.uk/Acknowledgment that the club meets the needs and demands of athletes
• Increased revenue opportunities from new members and/or events and local funding streams
• Safe and effective training and competition environment.
• British Triathlon qualified coaches
• Clear club structures
There are two accreditation schemes available in Wales at present:
• Un, Dau, TRI (Junior clubs in Wales)
• STAR (Senior clubs in England and Wales)
The common principles of the accreditation schemes are to enhance the clubs by providing a clear structure and pathway for club development. Obtaining the accreditation scheme will signify that the club has satisfactorily met a minimum level of standards recognised by triathletes, parents, coaches, Welsh Triathlon, Triathlon England and British Triathlon as a quality Triathlon Club.
The club standards are currently under review so please check back here for regular updates.
