| The focus of the Biathlon Bears program is to give children aged 8-14 the opportunity to learn the basic skills of biathlon in a safe and fun environment.
Each Biathlon Bears program is a total of 30 hours. Practices are twice a week. The programs run out of the Brookvale Nordic Centre’s biathlon range.
Each of the 3 levels of the program will provide the young athletes the opportunity to compete in a local race, and those who are very keen may wish to participate in a provincial or Atlantic cup race (cost of race not included in program). These races are part of the Atlantic racing circuit and bring athletes in from all over the region ranging in age from 8-55.
The Biathlon Bears program uses air rifles for the shooting component. These are provided for use by the participants while at practice. Cross Country Ski equipment is also needed, however this must be supplied by the participants.
Please con-tact Brookvale Nordic Park for information on rental equipment. Special rates are available for Bears participants.
All participants receive Biathlon Bears Badges. Class size is limited so book now!
