USA Archery Level 2 Instructor Practical Course — Class Description

The USA Archery Level 2 Instructor Practical Course is an in-person, hands-on session designed to prepare participants to lead safe, well-run beginner and long-term archery programs (e.g., JOAD, Adult/Collegiate clubs, and Explore Archery). The practical covers range setup and safety, class management, teaching fundamentals, basic equipment setup, and an introduction to the National Training System (NTS) Steps of Shooting for both recurve and compound.
