Next Generation Cymru (NGC)

The purpose of the Next Generation Cymru (NGC) programme is to identify and develop youth, junior, U23 and senior athletes, across both Olympic and Paralympic programmes, who have demonstrated that they could have the long-term potential to step up the Performance Pathway and achieve at world level and/or represent Wales at the next Commonwealth Games.

The NGC programme delivery varies depending on an athletes age and location. Youth and Junior athletes are supported predominantly through the Welsh Triathlon Academy programme via camps and coach support but can access additional support from our practitioners in Cardiff. U23 and senior athletes are supported either through our National Triathlon Performance Centre Wales (NTPCW) or via remote programme support from the Performance Head Coach. As with the Youth and Junior athletes, additional support is available from our practitioners in Cardiff. The information below shows the support provided for athletes at different ages of the programme.

Youth & Junior:

  • 4 x Welsh Triathlon Academy camps
  • Up to 2 x Home Nation camps (joint with England and Scotland Next Generation athletes).
  • Integration into the Performance Centre in Cardiff (age dependent)
  • Lead coach and co-creation of a weekly training programme
  • Coach support via Zoom/phone when required
  • Practitioner support across physiology, strength & conditioning, physiotherapy and psychology (this is delivered from our base in Cardiff)

U23 & Senior:

  • Integration into, or a selected member of, the Performance Centre in Cardiff
  • Lead coach and co-creation of a weekly training programme
  • Coach support via Zoom/phone when required (if remote)
  • Practitioner support across physiology, strength & conditioning, physiotherapy and psychology (this is delivered from our base in Cardiff)
