Programs

Following is a list of the different programs, experiences and opportunities available within the BC bobsleigh and skeleton community.

Talent ID Camps

Talent ID camps are held each summer by the national Bobsleigh & Skeleton association (Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton- BCS). These camps are used to identify athletes tfor the Canadian national team in each sport.

BCBSA also holds annual physical testing sessions open to all our BC athletes. These are designed to allow each athlete to develop an understand of what off ice training can be used to improve their sliding performance. The results from these tests are also used in conjunction with other criteria to assess whether a member falls into the recreational, development or BC team division of the club.

Stay tuned for the next BCBSA talent ID date.
