GENERAL
INFORMATION
The Archery Program follows
the NASP (National Archery in the Schools Program)
guidelines, using
international-style target archery stressing
discipline, concentration, and
self-improvement. Archery is
open to all 3rd through 8th graders. 3rd graders can
practice
with the team, but cannot
participate in tournaments.
2018-19
REGISTRATION
4th-8th Grade: The
registration fee is $60 for 4th-8th Graders and
includes a team t-shirt
and tournament entry fees, which are typically $5-7
($10 for the Regional) for each
tournament.
3rd grade registration is $30 as they do not
participate in any tournaments. A t-shirt and full
access to all equipment is included. The
season will run from December to mid-March, with the
1st practice before the start of
winter break.
PRACTICE
INFORMATION
Practices are held twice a
week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays in the Cafeteria.
Tuesday
practices are 6-7:30 on a drop-in basis. Ideally,
each archer will be able to dedicate around an hour
each practice, though with varying sports and
commitments this time of year, flexibility is
key. Saturday practices may vary with the
tournament season, though every effort is made to be
sure each participant has access to practice time
between 11 AM and 12:30. NASP specific
equipment (bows, arrows & targets) will be
provided for team practice & tournaments.
Students are encouraged to practice on their own as
well, but will need to purchase their own equipment
for that purpose. If your child has a NASP-approved
Genesis bow, he or she may bring it to practice. If
you bring your own bow, please be
sure to mark it with your child’s name. Please DO
NOT bring arrows to practice.
TOURNAMENT INFORMATION
We usually compete in 4 to 6 tournaments, plus the
regional. The tournaments are usually
on Saturdays (sometimes Friday evening as well).
They last all day, but an archer will
only be there for around an hour and a half. Archers
must arrive 1/2 hour before their flight time to
check in, and the actual shooting takes about an
hour. Most tournaments have “1st
come- 1st served” advanced registration for flights,
though we like to go in time "blocks". As the season
progresses, you will receive more
logistics/specifics regarding registration.
