Youth & Adult Teams
Schedule
Our current schedule is every Wednesday, except during holiday weeks. The JOAD team meets from 6:30-7:30 PM and the Adult team meets 7:30 to 8:30 PM at Carmen Trails Elementary’s gymnasium (take the main entrance, continue straight past the office, turn right to the gym).
For youth
“Let us introduce you to our Junior Olympic Archery Development Program – we call it ‘JOAD’. JOAD is a nationwide program where certified coaches provide instruction for youth archers to help them progress in the sport at their own pace. If they are new to archery and are looking for an “archery for beginners” program, like Explore Archery, JOAD has what they need to get started! Our archery instruction teaches them important skills, let’s them play exciting games and earn awards for developing fundamental skills and scoring achievements. JOAD clubs offer training and event preparation for all archery disciplines and many clubs have rental equipment available, so that you can try archery first before investing in equipment.
For adults (18+)
The Adult Archery Program is a logical “next step” for adult archers pursuing this lifetime sport. Membership in USA Archery’s Adult Archery Program provides unique benefits, including the opportunity to make new friends, obtain a great upper-body workout, and the chance to build self-confidence and learn team-building skills.”
Gear
Worried about equipment? We’ve got you covered! Loaner equipment will be available to all team members for free while you find what suits you best. We suggest purchases made in this order but YMMV:
- protective gear (armguard, release aid, chest protector, if desired)
- quiver
- bow (if shooting compound, include sight and peep sight)
- arrows (arrows will depend on bow poundage and your draw length)
- bow accessories (sight, stabilizers, etc.), and
- case, stand, or bag.
Jerseys
Jerseys can be ordered here.
Competition
Participation in one tournament/year is highly encouraged! Competition is a great way to meet the larger archery community, build bonds, develop team spirit, lift up your teammates, and grow as an athlete!
Team dues
Dues are charged monthly and each membership comes with a team jersey and a 15% discount on any purchases made for equipment or gear on our site.
Coaching Philosophy
These four aspects are my guiding principles in coaching and education:
My coaching philosophy is centered on the belief in the
infinite potential of every individual.
Encouraging that potential in themselves leads me to look beyond the current situation for that singular opportunity to cultivate
distinction through mastery
with my athletes, in both competition and in life, the physical and the spiritual. Finding these elusive moments requires
a sincere pursuit of perfection
that is based on a foundation of
honesty,
true collaboration,
mutual respect,
personal integrity, and
steadfast humility.
I coach to experience this
growth towards excellence together.
