YOUTH ARCHERY CLINIC

Calling all young archers! Join us for our Youth Archery Clinic, an exciting opportunity for kids ages 8 to 17 to learn and develop their archery skills in a safe and supportive environment. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve, this clinic is designed to teach fundamentals, proper technique, and archery safety.

Each student will be instructed on the fundamentals of modern archery and traditional archery in a classroom setting from 9 am to 9:45 am and then split up into three groups to participate in the Archery Activities stations.

Additional Reminder: Kids 15 and under shoot free at all of our 3D archery events (see club calendar for dates). They must be accompanied by and adult and must bring their own equipment. For more information, please see our archery page.

ARCHERY BENEFITS IN YOUTH

Focus and Self Discipline
The very heart of archery is learning a step-by-step method for drawing a bow and shooting an arrow. Even the youngest archers quickly learn that by slowing down and focusing on one step at a time, they are more successful at putting arrows in the middle of the target.

When archers make mistakes, they are taught that the solution is to analyze their steps and focus on improving one thing at a time. This is a great recipe for success on the archery field, in the classroom, and in life.

Teaches Goal Setting
Archery provides a great goal-setting environment. Archers can adapt their goals as they improve by increasing distances and focusing on smaller target rings. Whether students are first-timers or Olympic-hopefuls, archery fits their growing needs.

Builds Confidence and Self-Awareness
Whether your “target” is improving your health, physique, sociability or focus, archery can help you hit the bull’s-eye and be a more confident you, in and out of the classroom.
