The Youth Olympic Games qualification is very limiting, as FITA will only allow three female recurve archers and three male recurve archers from any one country to compete in the trials process. Moreover, these individuals must be born between January 1, 1992 and December 31, 1993 AND have to be part of your team competing in the Youth World Championships.

The group is hopeful that there will be archers who make the team that will also qualify to compete in the Youth Olympic Games trials. If the U.S. team does not earn our two allotted slots at the Youth World Championships or cannot field a team for the qualification day, then a team will be sent to a continental qualifier for another attempt.
