CSI Targeted Athlete

Canadian Sport Institute Targeted Athlete

Biathlon BC will nominate athletes, who make specific criteria, which sometimes differs from BiBC Squad Criteria, to Canadian Sports Institute Pacific or PacificSport to receive athlete “carding”. A carded athlete is eligible to receive sport specific services from CSI Pacific or PacificSport. These services may differ depending on which level of carding an athlete is nominated for, and which campus they register with. Carding is aimed at helping athletes meet their goals in sport, as well as assessing Biathlon BC’s athlete development.
