Biathlon is a wildly popular winter sport in Europe and we want more Canadians to experience the joy and excitement of biathlon.  The Biathlon Bears program aims to do just that by providing a framework, progression and tools for clubs to use to recruit new participants and ensure grassroots participants develop fundamental biathlon skills.  The materials are designed to allow flexibility in delivery while supporting quality biathlon and age-and-stage appropriate progressions.  Finally, because biathlon is the combination of cross-country skiing and target shooting, all of the content can be easily integrated with Nordiq Canada Jackrabbit and Track Attack programs.

Explore all the resources we have to offer from one main page. You’ll find recruitment ideas, the Biathlon Bears Implementation Guide, integrated season, practice and activity plans, Technical Shooting Manual for Community Sport, and more.  Click the button below to get started!

This guide provides introductory information for coaches looking to integrate para athletes into their biathlon programming.
