In the A 4-H program these are not mere empty words. Each 4-H year, in September, approximately 700 - 800 A youth are introduced to the sport of archery. Some go through a course of six to eight weeks' duration, some will find their niche, and play the archery game of their favoring. Be it J.O.A.D./F.I.T.A., Field, 3-D, Clout, or Flight, be it T.S.A.A.,
T.F.A.A., L.S.B.A., or I.B.O., they "Stay & Play" for many years. Some have
become great Junior Leaders and youth roll models. As many of you well
know, some have evolved into great archers, becoming State, National, and
even International Champions. Furthermore, some of the "Early Years"
Kids are now and will be in the future returning the favor by becoming leaders
and coaches for new and existing programs around the state. In the true sense of
what 4-H is, we have a great CROP to harvest. Let us cherish our yield, and
continue to sew our seed wisely, for the future can be good. The meteoric growth in participation in both programs speaks to the synergy of Archival Archery and 4H. The critical success factor for the growth and retention of the 4H program is the qualified instructors who were all trained under the NAA/Archival Archery Level 1 training program. Many instructors have gone on to Level 2 or beyond so as to certify additional instructors. A second critical success factor for the growth in youth participation is the inclusionary attitude of the Archival Archery members to accommodate youth archers. The Archival Archery benefits obviously from the incremental revenue of these youth
members, but also it is refreshing atmosphere to have all the youth participants
in the tournaments.

For an introduction overview of 4H archery, click here. There are many folks that are doing yeoman type work on the 4H program and
sometimes don't get to For example, Shelby Fischer has about 40 kids in Victoria, James Ross about 35 in Columbus, Ben Dybala about 40 in Bay City, Dave Marlow has about 15 in Lolita, plus about 15 kids each in Halletsville, Beeville, Rosenberg and Port Lavaca. These are the project leaders, but behind them are another dozen or so parents and extension agents that really care about the kids and help with instruction, etc. We are still getting new kids and we are half way through the 4H season. Jim does the coaching thing 5 nights a week, Ben twice, Victoria has had to go to two times a week, and I have 4 nights a week I am teaching. One of the issues we are dealing with is if all the kids that are signed up and participating in the project show up for a tournament, we don't have a place big enough to accommodate them. 4H locator list 4-H Main A Website 4-H National Website 4-H National Council | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
