Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) is a USA Archery program designed to help young archers aged 8 to 20 enjoy the sport, whether recreationally or competitively.

JOAD offers barebow, recurve, and compound archers the opportunity to learn range safety and proper shooting technique in an environment that fosters focus, increased self-confidence, and team-building skills. The program is designed to grow with each archer: introductory classes teach fundamentals, and as skills develop, archers learn advanced techniques and earn achievement awards.

Flexible Class Schedule: Join our JOAD program with a schedule that fits your life! You can choose to attend one or two days a week. If you miss a class, you can make it up by attending another session, provided there's space.

Classes are held Tuesdays, 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM, and Saturdays, 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM.
