What is JOAD?
Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) is a program of USA Archery that teaches archery to young people, provides great opportunities for awarding achievement, and helps archers to enjoy the sport recreationally or progress to the excitement of competition!
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.
Here at Smith Point JOAD, we welcome archers of all age groups and skill levels. We are a family oriented organization and encourage the parents to participate along with their children.
While the JOAD program is geared for boys and girls ages 8-20, adults (with or without children) are encouraged to take up the sport too. Similar to the youth achievement, we also participate in USA Archery's adult achievement program.
Some of the many benefits to shooting archery include getting yourself up off the couch and into the outdoors, it keeps your body and mind fit and its a great way to socialize! Come visit us at Smith Point Archery on just about any Saturday afternoon, but be sure to check tghe class schedule first - there is the occasional week where ther will not be lessons as we do travel out of state for competitions.
See you at the range!
