Millfield Sport
Modern Penthalon
Who can take part?
All Pentathletes are free to enjoy the first class facilities and coaching here at Millfield in a manner and schedule that suits them. In playing host to a number of tournaments (including the Senior World Cup) the School has already shown itself to be one of the premier locations for the sport. Pupils can either train part time or full time, allowing them to concentrate on academic studies or other interests if they wish. Supported by excellent coaching and facilities, pupils continue to improve and achieve new Personal Bests, and many go on to compete in the Youth International event held at the School.
What’s involved?
At the start of the school year a new regime begins with pupils electing to train part or full time: part time athletes take part in five sessions a week, while the full time athletes have nine sessions a week. Pupils take part in biathlon, triathlon, tetrathlon and pentathlon events both regionally and nationally leading up to the National Pentathlon Championships, which in the past have been hosted by Millfield.
