4th-12th — Competetion Archery (PE) (Available during 2nd & 3rd Periods)

This class is designed to teach beginners and intermediate archers the fundamentals in the sport in a safe and fun environment! Class will be instructed by an NASP instructor which will prepare the students to participate in competitions, as often as families are wanting to, against other schools around Central Texas.  Archery is a great way to teach focus, control over mind and breathing, patience and determination, and correct body mechanics which will all have an impact in their daily life!

Safety will be of the utmost importance and the first month will be spent on in class instruction focusing on safety, correct body mechanics, control of breath, eye dominance, stance and following instructions during shooting. We will then take all we have learned to the archery range! Most class time after the first month I plan to have the students working on their archery skills on the range. 

Students will learn how to make corrections in their shooting and implement that to be better archers. Competitions for NASP usually happen from January to March, and some in the fall.  Not everyone is required to participate in these tournaments, but the opportunity is there for all in the class.  Sometimes the tournaments will have a small fee, it depends on the school who is putting the tournament on. This is a fun way to get involved with other archers and continue the sport for years to come! (There will be a $12-$14 shirt that will be purchased for our archery team competition participants. That will come at a later date once students have had experience and know if they would like to participate  in the upcoming tournaments.)
