Junior Olympic Archery Program

The Monument Beach Sportsman?s Club of Bourne offers a Junior Olympic Archery Program. JOAD is a program of USA Archery (a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee) that is designed to teach archery to young people, over a series of classes taught by a certified archery instructor or coach. JOAD offers both recurve and compound archers the opportunity to learn range safety and proper shooting technique in an environment that also fosters focus, increased self-confidence, and team building skills. JOAD is open to any youth archer aged 8 to 20 and is designed to grow with the youth archer.

The club?s introductory JOAD classes teach the fundamentals of proper archery shooting form. As the young archer develops, they will learn more advanced techniques. Both recurve and compound bows are used in club activities and in tournaments. JOAD archers who use a compound bow can train to compete in local and regional tournaments, and can earn a seat on a youth world team to compete in other countries representing the United States on behalf of USA Archery. Recurve archers can compete likewise, with the added benefit of being able to use their recurve bow to try out for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Archery team, which is selected and managed by USA Archery.
