Biathlon BearsThe Biathlon Bears program is a comprehensive skills program for children offered by Biathlon Canada clubs across the country.

The program is 3-tiered; as participants progress through the three levels, they earn badges.

Long Term Athlete Development
Sport Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model is an inclusive concept that encourages all individuals to be involved in lifelong physical activity. LATD was developed by a group of leading sport scientists as a road map for physical and mental development, understanding that play is an essential ingredient in growing up, both physically and mentally.
LTAD articulates the need for all children, particularly those that have the capacity and interest to become elite athletes, to be given a solid foundation in physical, technical, tactical and mental capacities upon which to build their performance abilities.
Biathlon PEI follows Long Term Athlete Development as laid out by Biathlon Canada.
