MIDDLE SCHOOL ARCHERY

Archery is a sport that can fit any size and personality. Studies have seen kids excel both in and outside the classroom from the skills they learn.

Our program will introduce archers to the joy of the sport recreationally. Participants will learn: range safety, respect of the sport, handling and care of equipment, proper shooting technique in an environment that fosters focus, improved accuracy with increased self-confidence.
