Lancaster Archery Academy Level 3-NTS Coaching Class

Since the Lancaster Archery Academy was founded in 2013, we’ve believed in one major goal: growing the sport of archery. Shooting a bow and arrow is an activity that people of all ages and walks of life can participate in equally. Any serious athlete will tell you that to learn and succeed in something you must have a teacher. We recognize that not everyone can make it to our location for coaching. Keeping that in mind, we’ve made it our mission to offer stellar coaching education courses to allow others to spread the word about the sport we all know and love.

At our Academy, coaches will learn via a combination of classroom lecture, interactive discussion, and hands-on workshops designed to let everyone in the room share their knowledge with one another. Topics will include an overview of compound and recurve NTS, individual athlete development, event coordination, coach/athlete communication, and more. The course will be taught by Liz Humphries and Bryan Brady, Level 4 NTS-Coaches. Bryan Brady is an instructor at the Lancaster Archery Academy, and has been a competitive Olympic recurve archer since 2008. In addition to being a multi-time Virginia and Pennsylvania State Champion, he has coached several athletes to podium finishes at USATs since starting work at the Academy in 2015. Liz Humphries joined the Academy in 2014. In addition to competing with barebow and Olympic recurve, Liz has taught dozens of JOAD students to the state and national level.
