Perry County Youth Archers The Perry County Youth Archers Program is an archery instruction program designed to introduce archery to youth. Each shooter will learn safety, a proper shooting technique,…Last coaching call for the 2022 S3DA season! As we discussed at the roll out meeting on Wednesday night, I’m happy to be the head coach and lead the program but additional certified coaching help is beneficial. S3DA said they are willing to come to our club for the one day class but currently, I do not have enough volunteers to fill coaching roles. I need to make a decision and try and schedule a training class. Please let me know by tomorrow night if you are interested in any of the following:
ASSISTANT COACH (present at all/most practices from Jan to Aug),
INDOOR coach (present at all/most Indoor practices)-already have 2 volunteers,
OUTDOOR TARGET coach (help set up and be present at all/most Outdoor Target practices),
OUTDOOR 3D coach (help set up and be present at all/most 3D practices).
Also please let me know if you are willing to travel to any competitions. Or if you would just like to become certified and not fill one of the roles above.
More info will follow on the certification class, if there is enough interest.
Coaching class is $80, then it would be an annual $50 membership to S3DA and about $20 fee for clearances every 3 years.
Please send Carla Orris a text or Messenger message if interested.
Thanks-Carla
