CRUSADER ARCHERY
Open to Middle School and High School students
Crusader Archery grew out of the Adventure Cru--it went from being a hugely popular AC event to its own competitive program. Sixth through twelfth grade students all begin with JV Archery where they learn the basics of the sport. Once a student has successfully finished a season of JV Archery, they are eligible for Varsity regardless of grade level. In the JV, all equipment is provided but in the Varsity program, students will all need to own their own bow--both compound and recurve are aspects of the team. Both JV and V compete in the NCS-sponsored Sure Shot Invitational and varsity archers will also compete in two-three state-level archery tournaments. Fore more information, check out the team's Google Doc announcement page.
