BTABC in conjunction with the Canadian Baton Twirling Federation, CBTF,
offers a variety of programs in order to meet the needs of our membership
through athletes' development, coaches' development and judges'
development.
ATHLETES' DEVELOPMENT
Our athlete program incorporates a range of programs designed to provide for
the development of fundamental basic twirls through our Skills Development
Program (SDP) to the mastery of elite baton elements through camps/clinics.

The SDP is divided into 2 parts: Body Technique and Baton Technique.  The
SDP consists of an entry level White ribbon and then progresses through 8
badges and 4 pins each requiring the completion of a set off a number of skills
complemented by a number of fun games and activities.

Our national judges' certification program is comprised of 5 modules that allows
a member to judge at recreational, local, provincial and international
competitions upon certification at the various levels.  These modules
incorporate a technical component based on the mechanics of each event listed
