British Biathlon Club
Welcome to Biathlon UK
Welcome to Biathlon UK – “The Biathlon Family”.
One of our major partners in the Biathlon UK federation is the British Biathlon Club (BBC), which is the focal point for all current and aspiring biathletes of all ages and experience. BBC is an active club with several venues around the UK and Ireland, which organises and delivers biathlon training and competition at all levels, from one-day introductions for beginners all the way upwards to training camps for established biathletes.
Within Biathlon UK, there's so much more in our portfolio of technical expertise and experience in biathlon than simply BBC's 'club activities'. Just for example: we run formal competences and qualifications courses, which are so important today to ensure everyone is safe, and seen to be well trained and safely organised and managed; our technical consultancy partner McGill looks after range design, range project management, risk management and course design for biathlon leaders (range conducting officers, coaches, range safety staff, rollerski training and race organisation, etc); and we have experts - including erstwhile international competitors - who can organise superb UK and overseas training camp for both summer and winter on-snow competition training.
Whilst the British Biathlon Union (BBU) (www.britishbiathlon.com) looks after elite GBR Squad administration and international competition, we do everything else that’s needed to support the BBU that’s not its own ‘routine international business’. For elite competition and aspiring athletes, our training programmes are aligned with the BBU’s task of projecting British biathletes onto the World and Olympic stages; and for everything else we have the answers, the capability and the experience to make biathlon happen for you.
Our overall aim is to create opportunities for everyone to enjoy this wonderful sport, and to make access for newcomers a whole lot easier than ever before.
This is “Biathlon For All”.
