We are so excited to be offering a JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery Development ) archery program this winter and we would love for you and your children to be a part of it!
Registration will be capped at 20 archers per certified head coach available. The more coaches we have the more kids we can accept into the program. Head coaches will require a lvl 1 certification. All volunteers will be required to have a USA Archery membership and be background checked as a part of their training/certification.
We will be following the JOAD program provided through USA Archery. JOAD is the Junior Olympic Archery Development Program. This program is designed to help archers, whether they want to just enjoy the sport recreationally or progress to competitions.
The season starts around the first week in November and runs thru the middle of March.
Please note this is a co-ed league and all are welcome.
Please note that payment for the program is due at the time of registration. Registrations will not be processed without payment. The system will only accept credit or debit cards, it will not accept checks or cash. If there is a problem with making payment using a credit or debit card contact the SYA secretary before starting registration at [email protected].
Sign-ups are for ages 8-20.
Practice schedules will be determined after registration based on the number of archers at each age level.
Archers will not need to purchase any equipment. All equipment will be supplied by SYA. If you are interested in purchasing your own equipment for outside practice please reach out to Head Coach, Patrick Eckard at [email protected] for recommendations and regulations.
Registration cost:
Sept 1st - Sept 31st $50.00
Oct 1st - Oct 31st $60.00
After Oct 31st $70.00
Registration and payment must be received before player may begin practice. Registration will end on Nov 30th. Registration will be locked once we receive 20 athletes. If we get more interest in volunteers we can increase the size of registrations. SYA will reimburse any volunteers who get their adult all access pass.
