JOAD stands for Junior Olympic Archery Development, a program of USA Archery which is offered at archery ranges and clubs throughout the United States. Young people as young as 8 years old may sign up for these weekly group lessons in which they are taught range safety and proper archery techniques and shooting form. As the archer advances, they may move into our Advanced Competitive Program. We are home to over 75 youth archers who are actively competing, and we are proud that we have FIVE 2009 National Champions in the recurve and compound disciplines, currently in our JOAD program, as well as over ten students who have finished in the top five nationally in their divisions!
