USA Archery Crowns JOAD Grand National Champions
| |
HAMILTON, Ohio - After an Easton JOAD Nationals that included a 144-arrow qualification round, a team round and eliminations, Grand National Champions emerged in each youth category. The Championship titles were decided based upon qualification round placement, participation in the team round, and final placement in the elimination rounds.
This year's Easton JOAD Nationals and U.S. National Target Championships, a combined event, had record-setting attendance of over 700 competitors, a sure sign of archery's continued growth since the sport began increasing in popularity last year. Winners - and the second and third place archers - received plaques from USA Archery commemorating their placements; the Grand National Champions also received Easton quivers thanks to a generous donation by title sponsor Easton Technical Products.

Outreach Director: USA Archery Introduces SafeSport
| |
Blog post by Mary Emmons, Outreach Director
Whether an archer is participating in a recreation program, JOAD or Adult Club, camp, event - or training as an elite athlete - USA Archery (USAA) is committed to making sure all participants have access to a safe and healthy setting in which to participate. USAA is proud to introduce the SafeSport Program to ensure all members have the awareness, tools and support structure they need to create a safe environment in which to enjoy archery.
SafeSport, founded by the United State Olympic Committee (USOC), serves to address misconduct in sport by providing information, training and resources to parents, clubs, coaches and athletes to help members of the sport community to recognize, reduce, and respond to misconduct in sport.
There are three key components of SafeSport:
1.) Recognize: Learn about the different types of misconduct in sport.
2.) Reduce: Develop a strategy to ensure athlete well being.
3.) Respond: Know how to take action before there's a problem.
