High Performance (HP)
ABOUT
The High Performance (HP) program is for 0.22 athletes aged 16 and older looking to help develop and advance their shooting abilities and who are looking to compete at the provincial, national, and international level. This program is built around 3 sessions of live shooting per week (Wed. 6:30-8:00pm & Sat. 1:00-2:30pm & Sun. 8-9:30am), as well as some at-home dry-firing drills suggested by coaches. Sunday training will only run from May to end of October. This shooting schedule is fully integrated with the overall Nordic Race and Biathlon Race training plan. Athletes MUST also be registered in a Nordic Race program (either with Chelsea or another club) and have their own Yearly Training Plan that is shared with the biathlon coaches. Previous biathlon experience is required.
Athletes must have their own rifle and purchase their own ammunition. The club does have a limited number of rifles to rent for the summer or season Priority will be given to athletes in the Junior/Senior Development program.
