Training for the kids (8 to 13 years old) will begin on Tuesday June 5th. This group will train one day a week on Tuesdays this Spring and expand to Tuesdays and Thursdays as we get into the summer with more racing opportunities. Younger kids will use air rifles and older kids will be supervised on .22 caliber rifles with support blocks. Contact Coach Yves Dubief (yves.dubief@gmail.com) with questions on this program. Summer season cost is $75.
The Youth/Junior program (ages 14 and up) will begin training on June 5th. This training group is aimed at nordic skiers that want to develop their biathlon and shooting skills during the summer in anticipation of the Winter Race season. Meets two nights per week from 5:30pm to 7:00pm throughout the Summer and Fall. Team members are encouraged to continue to compete for their Nordic Club teams and High School teams and attend shooting practice after. For those kids ready, they will participate in the August 11 and 12 National Rollerski Biathlon Championships in Jericho, Fall Rollersk Biathlon Cup races, and Summer biathlon running series. All those training through the summer will be aiming for the Winter racing season including North American Cup Races, National Championships, and several international racing opportunities. Summer season cost is $250 plus $75 for ammo. Please send an email with your interest by June 1. Contact John Madigan with questions (jpmad2013@yahoo.com).
