Introduction
The NECTC Athlete Development Camp (ADC) is designed to bring collegiate athletes
together for an intensive weekend of training to increase the strength of competition
among the top athletes in the NECTC. Here, athletes will come together and push
each other to the limit outside the context of the race environment. Throughout
the weekend athletes will be exposed to different training styles, techniques
and seminars and will receive individualized feedback from each of the certified coaches.
Note that the camp is limited to 20 athletes
who will be selected based on their past race results, the strength of their
application and the recommendation of their coach or captain.

What will it cost?
NECTC athletes*: $250
Non-NECTC athletes**: $350
* NECTC athletes are student members of NECTC and USAT registered Collegiate Clubs, eligible for NECTC races in Fall 2010 and Collegiate Nationals 2011.
** Non-NECTC athletes are all other eligible athletes.
This will pay for:
- Coaching
- Facilities
- 3 nights of hotel accommodation
- All meals listed on the schedule
- Permits and USA Triathlon sanctioning
But it will NOT pay for the travel to, from or during the camp.
However, once athletes are accepted and pay the registration fee, the NECTC will work with the athletes to put together
carpools for all travel associated with the camp. As a result, some athletes
will be expected to drive between locations of several camp events while sharing
the gas expenses between the passangers in each car.
Check back in a couple of days for a map of the camp.
