CLUB TRAINING & COACHING 

SUPPORT FOR SPORT

Manx Tri Club are very grateful for the continued support of Isle of Man Sport’s “Support For Sport” initiative, particularly for the youth programmes in place

‘In partnership with the Island’s recognised Governing Bodies of Sport, Isle of Man Sport aim to achieve the following objectives:

• Increase participation in sport across all levels from grass roots to elite;
• Improve and develop coaching, volunteering and officiating to enhance performance across all levels; and
• Improve governance of governing bodies of sport and member clubs.

The Sports Liaison Committee assist and develop recognised sports on the Isle of Man through the Support for Sport framework, aligned with these Priorities and Objectives. For those recognised Governing Bodies of Sport that are well organised and have a clear vision of the future of their sport, the Support for Sport framework will provide:

• education and practical support through workshops and seminars;
• funding to help with priorities and objectives which align with those of Isle of Man Sport;
• increased liaison to ascertain which initiatives are most successful and could be used as examples of best practice to help develop other sports
