Archers, coaches, club leaders and event hosts should refer to the USA Archery Policy for Adaptive and Assistive Equipment when participating in club activities and sanctioned events.
In addition, please refer to the USA Archery Adaptive Archery Resource page for more information including the Adaptive Archery Manual, Video Series and more!
Any OAS club in good standing with a current club membership can sanction a local event with USA Archery. A “local” event sanction with USA Archery simply means a state or national championship will not be awarded. Local competitions can include schools from your district, across the state or other states and are a great way for clubs to fundraise and prepare for state and national competition. The format of the event will be up to the host club.
Optional Formats:
OAS archers participating in OAS Program events (i.e. State Championships, National Championships, and Virtual Tournaments) may only register to compete in ONE division. Schools are assigned to a Middle School Division or a High School Division. Archers are required to participate in the division to which their school is assigned.
OAS Clubs and archers will participate in a Fall and Spring Virtual Tournament. The USA Archery OAS Virtual Tournament is a great way to experience the excitement of a national event and test your skills against archers across the country, from the comfort of your local archery range! The OAS Virtual Tournament is offered twice a year, once in the Fall and once in the Spring.
| Fall OAS Virtual Tournament |
