Youth archery kickoff a great success
NSSA proudly welcomed this year’s youth archers to the club today for the first practice if the season. It was a great success! We would like to thank all the volunteers who have stepped up to help.
We are looking forward to a great season.
NSSA Youth Archery begins Oct 28th!
NSSA is pleased to announce that the NSSA Youth Archery program signup and orientation is scheduled for Sunday October 28th @ 1PM
Email youtharchery@
NSSA’s youth archery program is for children from 9 to 20 years of age.
The program will run from October to the first week of April and will be held on Sundays from 1 to 4.
Due to a change in leadership, NSSA must re-establish its JOAD affiliation.
Despite this, students will still be eligible to compete in JOAD tournaments during the re certification process. They will be signed up as an independent archer but will still need to be a member of USA Archery Organization to participate.
Tournaments start in December and go until April. Most of them are on held on Saturdays, but there are a few times when their shoot times may take place on a Friday or a Sunday.
We suggest that if you are interested in the program and you DO NOT have equipment. PLEASE DO NOT go out and buy anything. We have both compounds and recurve equipment available for your child to try. We will be able to recommend equipment that will fit them properly.
*IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THEY ARE FITTED WITH THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT!!!*
A parent is required to attend with their child.
We are excited about all the new changes and look forward to working with the kids.
Please feel free to email youtharchery@
