Juniors

Team Cherwell Junior Section is thriving.

We race in the BFT South Central Series which can see us travelling to Southampton, Portsmouth and Eaton Dorney near Windsor. All our coaches are voluntary and have a wide knowledge of triathlon who will help you train and prepare you for racing.

"The Team Cherwell coaches aim to grow and develop Juniors in-line with their own personal objectives and abilities. What’s most important is that they maximise their enjoyment of the sport and I take great pride in watching our Juniors train and race together collectively helping each other improve."

TC Juniors Coaches

We have some very experienced triathletes amongst our junior coaching team.

Richard Hughes
Level 2 BTF Coach
I’ve been involved in Tri for 20 yrs. Transferring from playing Rugby at various levels. After entering my 1st race in Banbury the sport enticed me in and I've now competed at all distances including multiple finishes at long distance and even a 4 day adventure challenge. Team Cherwell offers a great club spirit and it’s a pleasure coaching children from their first ever race to racing for GB, at all distances. I'm always available to help athletes with their long term development. Get in touch
John-Paul Hamilton
Level 2 BTF Coach
I have always enjoyed running, swimming and cycling and became a member of Team Cherwell in 2012 setting myself the challenge of doing all three together. I started coaching the juniors in 2016 and get a great deal of satisfaction in helping them to develop and improve, they’ve even taught me a thing or two with their enthusiasm for the sport. I regularly compete in Triathlons preferring the 70.3 or middle distance.
Matt Ryder
Level 1 BTF Coach
I started out in Triathlon in 2004 training and racing with Team MK then moved to Banbury and joined Team Cherwell in 2005. I’ve competed in Sprint, Olympic Distance and Ironman 70.3 races over the years. I’m now a BTF qualified Level 1 Coach with a keen interest in coaching running, swimming and open water swim skills.
Adam Prewer
Level 1 BTF Coach
After many years of playing football and cycling I moved into triathlon in 2015. I’ve competed in various distances and particularly enjoy the 70.3 distance. Coaching the juniors at Team Cherwell is throughly enjoyable and it’s great to see new friendships being made alongside the learning and development of the three disciplines.
Mabel Shepherd
Level 1 BTF Coach
Team Cherwell have supported me from the beginning as I have made my way up the junior section and into training with the adults. The coaches at Team Cherwell have enabled me to compete in the British Super Series and at Elite level. It’s now time to give something back to the junior section who have so much potential and ability.
