The Malta Youth Triathlon Academy, which was founded in June 2013, recently held two races for 
members and friends of Academy members. 

The first race consisted of a Duathlon (run/bike/run), held in Hal Far, whilst the second race was an 
Aquathlon (run/swim/run) held at the Kirkop Sports Complex. Both races saw over twenty five 
children, of varying ages take part in distances that were designed to cater for the varying ages of 
those taking part. The races were also an excellent opportunity to measure the progress made by the 
athletes, most of whom have been attending sessions organised by the Academy since its inception in 
June 2013. 

“We are very pleased with the outcome of the Academy. In less than a year we have had a consistent 
number of athletes training on regular basis and registering athletic progress as well as continued 
interest by the general public” said Dermot Galea, National Triathlon Coach and Malta Youth Triathlon 
Academy Co-ordinator. “The enthusiasm shown by our Tri-Kids, as we affectionately refer to them, 
and their parents is a sign that the programme we are offering is bearing fruit, not only from an athletic 
perspective but also from their own personal development, which in these years of youth are 
instrumental” 

The purpose of the Malta Youth Triathlon Academy, which was set up in June 2013, with the assistance 
of the Kunsill Malti Ghall-iSport and the European Triathlon Union, was to provide structured training 
sessions, by qualified coaches, to young athletes, giving them appropriate training according to their 
ages. In fact Academy coaches Matthew Azzopardi, John Scicluna and Maria Vella-Galea have recently 
obtained their coaching qualification from Semmelweiss University, in a course held in conjunction 
with the Malta Olympic Committee. 

The Academy is open to children and youths aged from 9 to 16 years of age. For more information on 
the new schedule to be launched shortly please contact the Academy by sending an email to 
myta@triathlonmalta.org
