Junior Olympic Archery Development
TOP RATED
Kids/Family
Parents, do your kids love the movie Brave, Avatar, or Lord of the Rings? If you're ready to release your inner Katniss, AIC has a USAA Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) program! Students must be at least 8 years old and up to 20 yrs old for JOAD.
Youth will learn, step-by-step, the basics to becoming a expert with a bow. Class will begin with the ten-step form of safety techniques using a hands-on archery demonstration. Next, under instruction from the pros, you will be fit with your own Olympic recurve bow equipped with arrows, sights, stabilizers, finger tabs and everything else necessary to start sending arrows down the 18 meter competition range.
We have trained several Illinois state champions and hold tournaments at our range. We also offer outdoor archery by the lakeside. All are welcome!
All ages welcome
Equipment is provided and we can assist with fitting you for purchasing your own personal equipment for the future.
