USA Archery Hiring JOAD Coordinator

USA Archery is looking to hire a contractor to fill a part-time JOAD Coordinator role. This position would be contracted for approximately 20 hours per week. Ideally this position would be filled by a person that is familiar with the JOAD program and is motivated to help grow the program by providing the energy, enthusiasm, determination, oversight and attention to detail that will make JOAD a competently managed program. It is USA Archery’s hope that this position grows into a full time JOAD coordinator position as funds increase.

Gainesville 900 – April 4th, 2009

I’m very proud of all of our archers. It was a beautiful day for a tournament. We didn’t have all of our archers due to spring break vacations and such, but those that went did really well. Take a look!

Collegiate Archery Program adds clubs, reaches out to more archers

Loretta Sinclair continues to reach out to collegiate archers and is looking into expanding the focus of CAP to help gain more interest in archery at the college level.

One of our critical initiatives over the next few years is to increase CAP club membership. The CAP Executive Council has set a goal of reaching 300 registered clubs by December 2011. We’re off to a good start, between 1 January and 31 March, 14 new clubs were registered.

The Executive Council approved the College Basic Bow division in an effort to reach out to archers who currently do not participate because their equipment isn’t covered by our divisions. The College Basic Bow Division includes Genesis, traditional, and barebow archers. Tournament hosts are encouraged to use this division at local and state levels so that these college athletes can compete.

We have just started looking into the opportunities to hold 3D College Archery events. I know that there are many college archers who shoot 3D and I’ll keep you posted as we receive more information.
