Our primary focus is for athletes from grades 6 to 12 and thru college to have fun learning the safety, the respect, and the ability to shoot a gun. They will also learn about the shooting sports of Trap, Skeet and Sporting clays. We shoot through a program called The Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP).
(From the SCTP Handbook) SCTP is a youth development program where adult coaches and volunteers model sportsmanship, responsibility, and teamwork while using shooting sports programs to teach these and other positive life skills to SCTP athletes.
Program Design
Youth from elementary grades through college are eligible to participate in the safe, educational, and enjoyable SCTP clay target sports of American Trap, American Skeet, Sporting Clays, Olympic Trap and Olympic Skeet. The SCTP is ideally suited to become a school sponsored Title IX Sport. There is no other sport that offers such an absolutely “level playing field” for gender participation as the shooting sports. The SCT is a perfect fit for youth organizations such as Boy Scouts, 4-H, FFA, Police Athletic League, Girl Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, etcetera. Any youth organization is welcome to participate in the SCTP.
All SCTP activities incorporate two indispensable elements – SAFETY & FUN. Safety is incorporated into every aspect of ALL SCTP activities. Did you know that shooting sports are the safest sport in high school? The learning environment at team practices and at competitive shoots is designed to include the element of FUN to participants. SCTP participants learn the safe and responsible handling and use of firearms. They discover the joy of contributing to a shared team goal and the commitment that goes along with it. During this self-discovery process, team members develop proficiency in a sport that can be shared and enjoyed with family and friends for a lifetime.
Adult Leadership
The program is led by trained and dedicated adult volunteer coaches who are committed to providing, promoting, and perpetuating opportunities for their young athletes to safely and enjoyably participate in a high-quality team-based sport. SCTP Coaches must take very seriously the responsibility of being good role models to the SCTP Athletes. As a result, SCTP coaches do not charge fees for coaching within the organization.
Honoring the Game
Competition is clearly a part of the SCTP, an indispensable part; but it is not the underlying principle. The “win at all costs” philosophy has no place in the SCTP. Striving to win while playing by the rules does. Honoring the game, exhibiting good sportsmanship, and being a responsible Team Member, are the bedrock values the SCTP strives to instill. It is the DUTY of everyone involved in the SCTP – Coaches, Parents, and Athletes – to set good examples for SCTP Team Members. Volunteers are expected to emulate and uphold high moral and ethical standards of personal conduct.
Sign up today to be included when the next season starts. We have 2 seasons, one in the fall and one in the spring. The fall season starts late August or early September and goes thu October. The spring season starts late February early March and goes to July. Not everyone will shoot all the way to July. We have set a 10-12 week practice schedule in the fall and spring for those that want to participate and win team awards. (Awards will be handed out after the spring season)
