ARCHERY: 6 YEARS – 12 YEARS & TEENS (Location: Gymnasium & Outdoor ranges at the Riverbrook YMCA) 

Archery Foundations – 60 min 
The next step up from scout or camp archery, this class is designed for kids who are new to the organized rules and NTS process of archery. We will cover the safety procedures, basic shooting technique, and beginner equipment care using a variety of shooting games. Required for any child who hasn’t taken classes with us before. Prerequisite: 8 years or older 

Advanced: Recreational – 60 min 
This class is for kids who know the basics and want to take it to the next level but aren’t interested in competing. Archers will learn both improved shooting technique and equipment selection and care. We will cover all the technique- and equipment-related topics of Pre-JOAD with games, rather than focusing on the competition rules.  Prerequisite: Passed Archery Foundations
