The USA Triathlon High School Program encourages high school-aged athletes to participate in multisport regardless of skill level or experience. They benefit from coaching, the ability to create or join training groups, and community support from athletes across the country. With training guides, gear, & races readily available, athletes can prepare for races ranging from 100-750 meters of swimming, 5-20 kilometers of biking, & 1-5 kilometers of running. The high school racing calendar culminates with each state's High School State Championship.

Get Involved in High School Triathlon #
Want to help grow multisport for the next generation? Athletes are encouraged to create their own training groups with 10 free individual USAT memberships by registering their group (free) with USA Triathlon.
Current USA Triathlon clubs can add a high school subdivision for no charge. The high school membership would fall under the adult club’s insurance policy, so there are zero additional costs. Adult club leaders can also serve as high school club leaders, but it is not a requirement. This partnership supports growth both as athletes and as a club.
