About USA Archery's JOAD Program:
Our most important asset in archery, just as in life, is our youth.
The NAA's JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery Development) program promotes the
sport of archery with young people. It stresses qetting a bow in hand
quickly (instead of boring the kid with lectures), yet doing so safely, and
focuses on the positive aspects of the sport. The USA's last Olympic
Gold and Silver Medal archers started out as JOAD archers.
While the Olympic effort IS important, JOAD recognizes that it is far more important that archery be a fun
and positive experience such that the young archer will continue to enjoy the
sport throughout life. The JOAD coach knows this and strives to
promote success and a positive attitude. Archery is a sport for a
lifetime. |
