2) JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery Development) Clinics sponsored by PSE, Mathews, and TruGlo. Texins JOAD Club is open to students ages 10 to 18.  This program is designed as an ongoing supervised JOAD Team training session. Certified instructors and/or the Coach works with the students on USA Archery B.E.S.T Shooting form in an effort to build consistency, proficiency, and confidence. Sessions are scheduled for Sunday from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm (except Holidays) for Team practice. All equipment is supplied by the Club, but team members may bring your own as well as approved by the Coach.  Parents must remain at the range during the sessions for anyone under the age of sixteen, and may find it fun to also participate. Non-members pay $10, and club members pay $5, per session. For additional information please email Tony Fontana tonyfontana@verizon.net

For new archery students, we hold JOAD Training classes.  These classes are scheduled as needed and teach archery skills to assist in developing a solid archery foundation.  Over 6 sessions the new archery student will learn range safety rules, range etiquette, and drills for each step in shot execution. Once training has been completed, students may join the JOAD team.  The team meets weekly to practice their drills and skills and receive instruction while shooting. 

The Texins Elite JOAD Team is for serious archery student contenders that want to focus on competitive archery.  Membership in the Elite Team is based on skill achievement and by invitation from other Elite Team members and the Team Coach.
