U14 Summer Activity Guidelines

Kurt Schmidt — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:45:59 +0000

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone has been enjoying the summer weather! Although it feels like we just ended the biathlon season, we would like to see the athletes maintain all the work they put in over the winter months. By remaining active throughout the summer, we can keep the strong endurance base you have build over the training season. It is important when exercising throughout the summer that the activity is hard enough to get a good work out. We have attached two diagrams below to help show you the different zones of exercise. When you are training from moderate to vigorous you should stay within the number 4 to 8 zones. Overall, each week we would like to see at least:

• 3 Training Sessions per week

• One Session of Physical Activity Should be AT LEAST 30 Minutes Long

• 180 Minutes Total per Week

• Moderate to Vigorous Intensities

• Each Within Number Zones 4-‐8

Some options to be active include: – Stair Climbing – Cycling/Spinning/Biking – Swimming – Rope Skipping – Rowing/Kayaking/Canoeing – Sports (Soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, Basketball, etc.) – Hiking/Hill Bounding – Jogging/Running – Aerobic Dance – Step Aerobics – Roller Skiing/Rollerblading/Roller Skating

This is not a complete list! If you would like to participate in a different activity and are not sure if it counts towards training, send an email to Nicole or Rachel to find out more. n_czajka@hotmail.com rkoroscil@gmail.com Thank you for the great year! Can’t wait to see you all at the summer camps.

Keep up the good work, Rachel and Nicole

Memberships Needed!

Kurt Schmidt — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:26:43 +0000

Hi to all, As indicated below, the Biathlon Canada on line registration system will be accepting membership registrations for a few more days . As our provincial membership is down for the first time in six years, I would encourage anyone who has not registered Provincially and Nationally this season to consider going on line and registering You can go to either the Biathlon Manitoba website or Biathlon Canada website and follow the link. If you have children who are Biathletes you should also be members. If you help out at events you should certainly be registered (for insurance), and if you simply wish to support a great sport at the local and national level you could also consider registering . Thank you

Hello,

Please be reminded that the deadline for membership for this past season is March 31. The online system will be open until midnight on April 3 to allow for individuals to sign up. For divisions who know of groups or clubs that are not yet registered, can you please have them register online or email me with the information so that we can plan for it. I need to include all membership revenues in my year end financials for the audit in April.

Thank you for your attention to this.

Regards,

Joanne
