August Parents' Meeting

This is a reminder that there is a monthly meeting on the first Saturday of every month, and the meeting for August will be August 3.

After dropping off your kid(s), please stay for the parents meeting.

We will cover important information including private lesson schedule and our club tournament during the first week of September.

Also, please take the time to review our club rules at the "Rules&Procedures" page, located on the second tab above (not just the new-comers, everyone must review the club rules).

One of the rules that was poorly followed in the recent weeks was the very first one: "Archers must arrive 10 minutes prior to the start of club to set up their equipment."

Our club time is 3:00~6:00 p.m.

You must come at least 10 minutes early (even earlier since most of you take more than 10 minutes to set up your equipment) to not only set up your bow but also help the parent volunteers and coaches put up the target bales that YOU will be shooting on.

That means if you live 30 minutes away from the archery range, you MUST leave the house at 2:20 at the very latest in order to arrive at the field by 2:50 (No traffic excuses! You must account for traffic when you leave).

Please do not be late!

The later you come to the field, less instruction time that not only you but also all the other archers will have.

Especially with our new training schedule geared towards actual competition starting next month, we need all the time we have, perhaps even more.

Below is the flyer for our 3rd Annual Joy Lee Archery Championships:

Be sure to sign up as soon as possible to help us organize the event!
