2013 California State Games - Great Opportunity for Beginners!

There is a great opportunity for beginners to not only compete in a fun non-official ranking tournament but also visit the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA.

It is just two hours South from where we usually practice!

The tournament will run just as any other official-ranking archery tournament.

April Parent Meeting

Congrats to everyone who competed in the 2013 AAE Arizona Cup!
Despite the unprecedented wind (especially the newer archers) and the longevity, we all endured well.

We usually have our monthly parents meeting on the first week of every month, but because so many people were competing in Arizona Cup and so few people were present at the club practice, we decided to move the parents meeting to this Saturday 4/13/2013.

So parents:
Please stop by after dropping off your kids!

See you then!
