Regional Development Coaches

As part of a regionally funded initiative by Sport England, Triathlon England has today announced the deployment of fifteen regional coaching positions across the country.

In the south east region we can welcome two individuals who will be focusing on developing 'age group' and 'club level' triathletes from Tri-Star (8 to 14yrs) through to adult level. The Regional Development Coaches (RDC's) will add an important structure to grassroots development:

Nick De Meyer is the new adult coach and Christian Vaughan is our new youth coach. Nick will be running sessions to introduce triathlon to beginners and help drive up participation levels. Christian will initially play a major role in readying children for the Corus Kids of Steel event at the K2 Leisure centre in Crawley on 20th May 2008.
