This is the information page for the USA Archery level III course being conducted by Ron and Lindsey Carmichael. It is open to any USA Archery level II instructors with at least 3 years of experience mentoring others in the sport of archery. It is a very intensive learning opportunity, and successful candidates will be empowered to create excellence in the sport.
You will need to use the PayPal option to finalize your registration for this course.
To register for this course, first confirm with Ron that there is still room in that course by emailing him. Once he acknowledges your email request to participate, please select the Level/Pay option below, and be sure to include the name of the student. You do NOT have to have a PayPal account in order to use it to pay for the course. NOTE: the USA Archery Level 3 course is formerly what was known as "Community Coaching Certification" - Pass this course and you will be a Level III USA Archery Coach.
Course Date: January 25, 26, and 27th, 2013
Location: Multimedia Room 22, Basement Floor, Anna Hiss Gym
Attire: wear comfortable casual, if you are prone to chills from AC bring a light jacket perhaps. You will need note-taking materials, pens or pencils. If voice recording helps you can use that as well. Lindsey especially recommends the Livescribe Pen which helped her for years of college lectures so if you have one be sure to bring it!
Be at the classroom by no later than 4PM Friday 25th, ready to start.
Friday, 25th: 4pm - 9pm (eat dinner prior to course)
Saturday, 26th: 8am - 6pm (1 hour lunch break and frequent breaks throughout the course)
Sunday, 27th: 8am - 5pm
TO brush up on your basic skillset knowledge, take this pre-test from the Easton Foundation (and feel free to work through the modules!) to figure out how much you already know, and to prepare for the course. You will need to be able to name ALL of the parts of the bows and arrow diagrammed in the book before the end of the day<hint>.
You will be given a printed copy of manual and material first thing Friday.
You can bring your own bow, we will discuss tuning functions. We will have brief periods of shooting with gear as necessary.
MEMBERSHIP IN USA ARCHERY? The level 1 is the only American Archers course where membership is not required, nor is a background check required. If you do join the American Archers and pass the level 1 course you are afforded insurance coverage for your instructor archery activities. If you plan to obtain Level III Coaching certification, you will have to do both membership and the background check in order to receive American Archers approval of your certification so you may wish to plan accordingly. Want to join USA Archery? Click Here to Go Straight to American Archers Membership Services System. Click here for information on background screening.
Read the manuals from level 1 and 2 as thoroughly as you can - you will get far more out of the course!
If you need to contact Ron, send an email or text him, his mobile number is 512-797-4127. See you there!
This is a very information-rich course, success comes with proper preparation (and helps prevent mental overload!) so the more time you invest before the class the more you will actually get out of the course. This course is not a guarantee of passing - if you do not have the knowledge, demonstrate the skills and drills, and have a solid grasp of the Kisik Lee Shot Cycle components, you will NOT pass.
Once you have used Paypal to pay for the course, you will be sent an email with links to more digital study material. The size of the class will be limited, your reservation is not assured until payment received. Full refunds will be made up until the day before class starts if you need to cancel.
