MANSFIELD Triathlon Club is hosting a new series of coaching sessions aimed specifically at young people between the ages of eight and 16.

The sessions will run at 10am on Saturdays, starting on March 14 and concluding on April 11. The sessions will be held at Ashfield School, Kirkby-In-Ashfield and will include activities in all three sports of swimming, cycling and running.

The sessions last for two hours, are led by qualified triathlon coaches and cost £5 for non-club members and £3.50 for club members.

To take part in these sessions each child will need to bring their own cycle and cycle helmet (no cycling is allowed without a helmet); swimming equipment and running clothes and shoes. They should also bring a drink.
