Albany Area Community Education is proud to offer the National Archery in the Schools Program. Both new and returning archery (District 745 only) students are welcome! Our trained instructors will focus on teaching proper skills and safety for the sport of archery. All necessary equipment for participation is provided. Only NASP approved equipment is permitted to be used in practice or at tournaments (personal Genesis Bows will be allowed but must be approved by coaching staff prior to use). Practices will be held on Sunday evenings in the BECC. Additional practices may be added, depending on gym and coach availability. New archery team members will be required to do safety training the first evening of class. (NEW this year-4/5th grade archers are no longer eligible to compete in the NASP tournaments (since we don't have the in-school during regular school hours 10 hours of training requirement) but are welcome to join us for practices, team picture, etc.)).

Please be checking your emails as we send out lots of updates in this program. Archery is coached by volunteer coaches that have gone through training and background checks. We could not do this program without their commitment, so please make sure to thank them and be respectful of their time. Parents are asked to be quiet during practices and to keep other children at home if possible. No food or drink should be brought into the BECC.
