University Pentathlon Programmes • 18-25 year olds • New participants – previous experience in one of the sports • New participants looking for a challenge experience • Lapsed participants • Current participants transitioning to University and at risk of leaving the sport • Via the new BUCS Sports Advisory Group a strategy to grow and develop Pentathlon activity in Universities will be established as well as developing the BUCS Championships. • This will also link with the 2016 World Games in which Tetrathlon (Swim, Run, Fence & Shoot) will be included for the first time. • Development Officers to work with identified Universities via “Pentathlon University Champions”. These roles will be openly recruited although it is thought that the majority will have a background of the sport or one of the disciplines. • The roles will be voluntary but with paid expenses, kit, mentoring and coach education training. • Each University will be allocated a kick start fund to drive new activity. • University provision will focus on products to get students involved – Biathlons, Run & Shoot and Battle Biathlon (Fence and Shoot). It is hoped that these events will form part of the Universities varsity or intramural activity. • These competitions will be supported with coaching taster days and the Development Officers along with the Pentathlon University Champions will work towards a regular cohort of students who can form a club and enter the BUCS Championships.
