Goals for USBA Camps
Looking for Top Results at the Olympics and World Cup
The U.S.Biathlon Association has had a long history of recruiting talented and motivated athletes and helping them become world class biathletes. Currently our men’s team is ranked 10th in the world, with all 4 of our top men regularly finishing in the top 40 in the world. Tim Burke, our top athlete this year, wore the yellow bib (# 1 World Cup ranking) for several weeks prior to the Olympic Games. We are looking toward 2014 and 2018 Olympics with excitement, and we hope to find a number of future Olympians in our Regional Development Camps of 2010. Most of our current national team athletes all came to similar camps in 1995-1998.
Description and Purpose of Camps
The purpose of the Regional Development Camp is to allow you as an athlete to get a “jump start” in biathlon marksmanship, while at the same time experience a “national team” style training camp. We will be training lots of hours, working on ski technique and strength training technique. Many of the camps will be run in conjunction with the Junior national team or other athletes with advanced shooting skills.
