What's happening
for recreational JOADs,
parents and
supporters?
Beginners
and Instructors at Straight N Arrow JOAD
For
Recreational JOADs and JOAD Volunteers:
-
Summer is
just about over, although the heat and monsoons are not.
-
Many have
taken their summer getaways.
-
School is
getting back into session for most.
-
School is
the number one priority.
Once back
into school routine, recreational JOADs will want to get into the
weekly JOAD class routine.
-
Most of
Arizona’s JOAD clubs have been conducting classes right through
the summer.
-
Mesa
Targeteers at Chandler's Archery HQ, are taking summer break, but
will be back in session on September 18th.
-
For club
information check out the
www.azarchery.com -
Arizona Clubs
page and the
www.azjoad.com
-
Starting Out
page.
-
If you
just can't get enough of organized shooting, check around at the
archery shops for leagues.
The
beginning of the school year is a great time for parents and JOAD
supporters to volunteer and support their JOAD club.
-
The ASAA
will be hosting a NAA Level 1 archery instruction certification
class.
-
Level 1 is
great for volunteers and a must to help instruct at a JOAD Club.
-
Check the
ASAA website for Level 1 certification class information.
A word about
volunteering. Arizona JOAD Clubs are in constant need of
volunteers.
-
Becoming
Level 1 certified is helpful, but not a must.
-
Besides
helping with set up and take down, keeping track of JOAD
achievements is a great way to begin to help.
-
Assisting
with check-in, waivers signatures and payment is another good
way.
-
Most JOAD
clubs look for a volunteer that is consistent and reliable.
-
Skills
such as fund raising, computers and community outreach are always
needed.
-
The AZJOAD
Association can always use “articles” and photos about JOAD clubs
activities.
Hoping you
have good teachers, both in school and at JOAD!
