Welcome to Biathlon Bears! My name is Denise Veinotte and I am the Chelsea Nordiq Biathlon Bears program coordinator, together with coach CJ Moogk, we hope to offer your kids a great season of biathlon. We have had to make a small adjustment to our Sunday schedule. The Bears class will start sharply at 11:00am and will finish at 12:30pm. Please have the kids at the range shortly before 11:00am so they are ready to go – be sure to consider the walk or ski up to the range in your drop-off time. Weather: Biathlon practice is always on, rain or shine – cold or hot! The only exceptions would be lightning and certain freezing rain/ice conditions. Make sure athletes have the following for each fall practice: Good running shoes or trail shoes Sports clothes appropriate for the weather - no cotton (please use layers) Gloves – no cotton Toque/headband Water Snack for after practice We will have a parent’s meeting in a few weeks to explain the program and answer any questions about equipment and the upcoming season. Before then, please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns. Denise Veinotte |
