____________J.O.A.D.____________    Junior Olympic Archery Development

We are proud to offer an ongoing JOAD program during the academic year.  Archery is a confidence builder in kids.  Our goal is to teach the fundamentals of target archery in a positive environment and to make archery enjoyable, not high-pressured. Archers need only be mature enough to comply with safe practices taught and reinforced here to participate in the National Archery Association’s JOAD program offered here at Central Maine Archery.  No prior experience is necessary.

QUALIFYING ROUNDS
Central Maine Archery J.O.A.D. will hold “Official Qualifying Rounds” for Junior Olympic ranking every third week of the month. At these classes, they shoot for a score against themselves to progress through various levels of recognition. To qualify for the next achievement level, the archer should attend at least 3 of the 4 classes that month.  At other classes, the focus is on practice, learning, and having FUN.  Every archer starts at the same level and advances only one level per qualifier.
NAA MEMBERSHIP
Reminder:  You must be a NAA member at some point after qualifying for white star status to be recognized for the other achievements.  You can register at http://www.usarchery.org.
