JOAD
(Junior Olympic Archery Development)
For Archers Age 8-20 yrs

Come work with USA Archery Certified Coaches to learn the fundamentals of Archery and have FUN at the same time!

All levels of archers are welcome! We do have bows for kiddos who don't have their own equipment, and we can give suggestions if you are interested in purchasing your own.
We are currently meeting on Mondays at the EA range, 4:30-6 pm. Directions to the range are found on the home page. 

 

*If you are unsure about participating and your child wants to try it first, you can come two times before signing up for anything. This is what we're permitted under the rules of USA Archery and maintains our liability. Email Eliza with any questions (contact info below). 

​

To participate in Evergreen Archery's JOAD Program:

1. Sign your child up for a youth membership to Evergreen Archery.

   • New youth membership is only $10 for the first year. Cost is $40 per year after that.

   • This gives your child full access to the Evergreen Archery Range at any time in addition to the nights we meet for JOAD.

   • If you sign up for a family membership, you do NOT need to purchase a separate youth membership for your child to participate. Your family membership will cover that. 

2. Pay a 1-time fee (new JOAD kids only) of $50 (you'll add this to your cart through the Shop section). This helps us pay for the lanyards, pins, target faces, and other supplies that we use in JOAD.

3. Sign your child up for a membership with USA Archery. When you sign up, search and sign them up for the Evergreen Archery Joad club. This covers your child under USA Archery's Liability coverage, and enables them to participate in the JOAD achievement program. 

   • Sign up for either the Recreational Membership ($20 per year) or the All-Access Youth Membership ($50 per year). You only need to start with the Recreational membership, but if your child wants to compete in USA Archery events as a member of JOAD, you will need to upgrade to the All-Access Membership (but you only have to pay the difference of $30 to upgrade).
