The USA Archery Level 1 Instructor Course is designed to give instructors the necessary skills to teach the archery merit badge, short-term archery programs and introduce basic archery skills to beginners. The class is geared toward those working with 4H Clubs, Boys Scouts, Girl Scouts and camps. We cover range safety, range set-up, basic equipment setup and repair, and how to teach the basic steps of shooting.

The Level 2 Archery Instructor Certification Course includes the Level 1 certification course and provides students with an introduction to the National Training System (NTS) Steps of Shooting for recurve and compound, equipment and accessory setup, athlete development and events.  It also qualifies students to teach the Level 1 Archery Instructor Certification Course. Graduates of the Level 2 Archery Instructor Certification Course are well prepared to serve as the lead instructor for long-term archery programs such as Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD), Adult Archery Program and Collegiate Archery Program clubs, as well as the Explore Archery Program.

Registration fee covers food, facilities, materials and instructor.  Level 2 instructors have additional cost requirements of $50 for a 1-year USA Archery membership and a $25 background check.

A course details packet will be published on August 5, 2019.
