Youth Triathlon, Canberra
A $1,000 contribution to support transport and accommodation subsidies for youth players attending the Youth Triathlon in Canberra.
As part of the drive to grow youth bridge, the reestablishment of the Youth Triathlon on the annual youth calendar is a key part of the overall development of youth bridge in Australia.
Unlike Youth Week or the ANC, which focus primarily on competition, the Triathlon is centred on participation, player development and building youth connections. Its original format was to hold teams, pairs and individual events, with the best performing person across all three events awarded the Bobby Richman Shield.
The addition in 2026 of two days of development to the event will ensure it meets its goals.
