Coach Woody will be traveling to Portugal in November which will necessitate us pressing pause on JOAD Club events for a couple weeks.

There will be NO JOAD on the following dates:

Thursday, Nov 14th

Saturday, Nov 16th

We also have Thanksgiving this month, so there will be no JOAD on Thanksgiving Day

We will have JOAD on the following Saturday per our normal schedule.

All JOAD events/dates should be accurately reflected on the Ohlone Archery calendar as a reminder.

What is JOAD?

Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) is a program of USA Archery that teaches archery to young people, provides great opportunities for awarding achievement, and helps archers to enjoy the sport recreationally or progress to the excitement of competition!

JOAD offers both recurve and compound archers the opportunity to learn range safety and proper shooting technique in an environment that also fosters focus, increased self-confidence, and team building skills. JOAD is open to any youth archer aged 10 to 20 and is designed to grow with the youth archer. Introductory JOAD classes teach the fundamentals of proper shooting form; as the young archer develops, they will learn more advanced techniques.

Ohlone JOAD focuses primarily on recurve archery. JOAD archers can train to compete in local and regional tournaments, and can earn a seat on a youth world team to compete in other countries representing the United States on behalf of USA Archery. Recurve archers have the added benefit of being able to use their recurve bow to try out for a spot on the US Olympic Archery team which is selected and managed by USA Archery.

Whether your child's interest is purely recreational or an Olympic, Paralympic or World Championship dream, USA Archery's JOAD program is tailored to help the young archer achieve their goals.
