JUNIOR PROGRAM
The Junior Archery Program will be accepting registrants for the program on February 17, 2025 and will start when the static range is dry.
Be sure to be a club member prior to registering. The program will start early spring once the static range has dried up – usually early May. The program runs until the 2nd last week of August. The week-night lessons may change from week to week so be sure to keep an eye out for any emails on changes.
Archers will be divided and assigned to groups. If needed, the club will supply a bow for the Junior Archer. Equipment is limited to first come first served. Once assigned, it is up to the archers to take care of it for the remainder of the program. This way they can come on their own time to practice or shoot the 3D loops.
As for lessons, we will cover; safety, parts of a bow, how to inspect a bow and basic skills, such as, stance, grip, form, release, follow through, etc. The archers will be introduced to paper targets, 3D targets and scoring. Usually the first week of summer we have a fun day that will consist of archery games like archery battleships. We will have one week set aside for a Mock FITA tournament at a different location. This will be limited to only 20 archers who may be interested in competing. We will also do a few 3D rounds, near the end of the season. At the end of the season we have a family BBQ with gifts and awards, all supplied by the club.
Lessons will be weekly on weekday nights starting at 6:30 PM. If the archer is unable to make their lesson, they are able to move to a different group for that week, we just ask we are notified in advance.
If a Junior doesn’t have a shooter shirt from last year or requires a larger size, please notify coach Leon when registering. These cost $45 to order.
Lessons are free to members of Parkland Bowbenders. Prices for memberships can be located on their website under memberships. Registration will not be accepted until a membership has been acquired. When registering please include the following information:
Archers name, date of birth, left or right eye dominance OR unknown, guardians name, phone #, email address and if they have their own equipment.
