Our School & University Programs
-
Albert Park College
Beginning in 2019, APC was our original school program. It was co-funded with Triathlon Victoria, with the aim of introducing more school children to triathlon. Several of these children have gone on to win races and represent their state or national team. In 2022, we established a Triathlon Academy at the school for the first time, for those looking to grow, learn and perform in their triathlon.
-
Star of the Sea Girls College
Our second school based program began in 2020 and provided coaching support for the school in the lead up to SCSA Competition. Now a more comprehensive coaching program is in place, focusing on Girls Sport Victoria competitions and external events all year round. Our main aims are to increase participation and retention in triathlon, whilst providing a welcoming squad environment for those who want to train consistently each week and focus more on performance.

Melbourne University
Momentum Triathlon Academy began collaborating with Melbourne University Triathlon Club in 2024, providing coaching for athletes of all levels, whilst helping to grow the numbers of Recreational and Development triathletes at the University. This partnership goes beyond triathlon, offering project work and work experience opportunities for students as well as the opportunity to benefit from MTA projects and partnerships.

Lauriston Girls School
Beginning in 2022, the triathlon program at Lauriston aims to expand on previous student interest in the sport, now offering more external triathlon competitions, a triathlon squad environment for the school and regular coaching and clinics for the first time.
