Archery Season is Quickly Approaching

Students in grades 6-8 will be assessed with following rubric during the archery unit. The scores from this rubric will be combined with arrow scores to determine the students who will have the opportunity to try out for the archery team. Please understand that the team is not picked solely on how well a student shoots a bow. Their understanding, knowledge of rules and ATTITUDE are just as important as arrow score.

All students will be assessed for the current school year. Prior archery experience is not a factor in determining the state tournament team. Even though a student made the team last year, they are not guaranteed a spot for the current year. The physical education staff feels that this is the fairest way to construct a team.
