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.

WHY JOAD?

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, known 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 coaches. 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.

HOW YOUR CHILD CAN BE A PART OF JOAD

A young person age 5 to 20 who is interested in the sport of archery, a member of a JOAD club, and a member of USA Archery can be a part of this growing sport.
