Youth Development Program

Community • Fun • Balance

The goal of our program is to inspire the next generation of archers. We understand students come with many different goals, and our main objectives are to help them see success and develop as individuals. We structure our programs based on the following three principles:

Uniting archers through community • Inspiring passion through enjoyment • Bridging life and sport

Youth I: Explore Class (Ages 8-17)

(Formally Youth Beginners)

The Youth I: Explore archery class is the first stop for all youth archers looking to explore the sport of archery. This class will emphasize teaching students safety when shooting a bow and how to operate on a shooting line while following proper range etiquette. Students will also learn the basics of shooting technique; working on stance and anchor as well as being introduced to using a finger sling. Our coaching staff is dedicated to creating a fun and interactive learning experience geared towards developing character and a strong foundation in the sport.

Classes are session based so you can sign up for the days that work with your schedule, but of course it is best to come regularly so you can grow as an archer.

Cost: $25 per session

It is highly recommended that you use the equipment provided in the class, which is included in the class fee. Please also be sure to wear closed toed shoes.

For this particular session of Explore Archery we invite you to join your kids in class. We hope to encourage parents, guardians, and other family members to join their loved ones in a fun activity together not only as a show of support but maybe to even discover a new hobby or passion.

Youth II: Basic Class (Ages 8-17)

(formally youth intermediate)

Youth II: Basic will be the next stop for our youth archers in which they will continue to build the foundation of their shooting technique while learning more about equipment and their responsibilities as an archer. This class will expand on the previous form requirements of stance and anchor along with adding new concepts of hook, grip and set. Students will also be introduced to using a sight and stabilizer.

Youth III: Intermediate Class (Ages 8-17)

New class level, not to be confused with the former Youth Intermediate (See above)(please look for an email invitation to this class)

In the Youth III: Intermediate class, students will learn the skills necessary to become lifelong archers. In this class, students will further develop their shot process and learn more about the National Training System (NTS). This class will teach students the value of deliberate practice and how to respond to new challenges with a mindset of optimism and positivity. Students are encouraged to become more active in the archery community through events, clubs, and volunteer opportunities. They are also encouraged to start purchasing their own equipment.

Equipment Consultations (Youth III: Intermediate level students or higher)

While we are more than happy to provide class equipment to Youth I: Explore - Youth III: Intermediate students, there is eventually a time in your archery journey that you are ready for your own equipment, but you may not know where to start. Look no further! Our coaches can provide a one-on-one session to help guide you through the process to help you get everything you need. They will also help to make sure that what you order is well suited to your current and future needs.

Sessions are available by appointment only and cost $50 for a 1-hour consultation.
