JOADJOADJunior Olympic Archery Development Program
What is JOAD?
The Junior
Olympic Archery
Development
Program was developed in order to provide this country's youth with a safe,
disciplined archery training program. This program will not only teach the
children the fundamentals of archery, but promote fun and enjoyment for the
entire family.
USA Archery has structured an
achievement program that rewards improvement and stresses participation, so that
archers can grow independently in a group situation. If one qualifies, a
JOAD member could potentially become an Olympic and international archery
contestant.

Pelkey's Archery is pleased to continue our affiliation
with USA Archery so that we may host Vermont's finest
Junior Olympic Archery Development club, know as the Vermont Junior Archers JOAD.
We are both proud and excited to offer this program to
the youth of our communities, as it is the driving force in the development of
archery in this nation.
Our classes are run by USAA certified instructors.
Classes are limited to twelve students to ensure safety and personalized
instruction. Training includes instruction, testing for achievement
awards, and "Spirit Week." Club membership also qualifies students to
participate in local and out-of-state tournaments.
Recent graduates have continued to be active in the
sport of archery through instruction & competition. Club Members hold such
titles as World Junior Team Member, JOAD Indoor National Champion, JOAD Outdoor
National Champion, Collegiate All-American, Collegiate National Champion and
World Cup Team Member.

equipment. The JOAD program welcomes all ages and abilities, beginners to
experts, as well as all equipment disciplines, recurve and compound.

archers are required to wear at all JOAD functions), a membership for the

Tournament Teams
Advanced training is available for students who have decided to commit
themselves to become competitive archers. Training involves advanced
techniques and mental preparation.
Three invitational teams have been created to allow archers
to develop their skills to a more advanced level. More time and energy is
required by the archer and family. Minimum eligibility requirements are in
place along with mandatory activities for each team. In addition, club
meetings are held monthly.
Are you interested
in more intense training and participating in competitive tournaments in house
and out of state? Please ask your instructor for more details
