NSPEI's Other Programs

Nordic sports are lifetime sports appropriate for anyone interested in developing their fitness and discipline. Athletes at Nordic Sports PEI range from age 8 to over 50 and we are always happy to see our community grow on Prince Edward Island.

Nordic Sports PEI is proud to offer a full range of programs open to all levels of athletes, from beginners through to experienced, and at all levels of participation goals.

Competitive Program

The Biathlon PEI Competitive Program runs throughout the year and involves more frequent training sessions. ​During the winter season athletes are provided with sessions on skiing and range techniques.

Biathlon PEI teams compete at all levels, including representing us at the National Championships.

Recreational Program

NSPEI is open to all levels of athletes from beginners through experienced and all levels of participation goals. Our recreational program offers monthly training sessions in the off-season and weekly sessions once there is adequate snow on the ground.

Officials Training

There's more than one way to be involved in biathlon. Nordic Sports PEI contributes to the the emerging Atlantic Canada Biathlon competition circuit by hosting competition events, as well as offering an active officials and coaching development program.

Long Term Athlete Development

Sport Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model is an inclusive concept that encourages all individuals to be involved in lifelong physical activity. LATD was developed by a group of leading sport scientists as a road map for physical and mental development, understanding that play is an essential ingredient in growing up, both physically and mentally.

LTAD articulates the need for all children, particularly those that have the capacity and interest to become elite athletes, to be given a solid foundation in physical, technical, tactical and mental capacities upon which to build their performance abilities.
