WHAT IS NASP™?
WHAT IS NASP™?
NASP is a US-based organization aims to improve students' educational performance in grades 4-12 by teaching archery skills and life lessons like focus, self-control, and discipline. NASP teams typically have 12–24 archers, and team scores are based on the top 12 archers' scores. ARS is required to annually certify against NASP-defined safety and curriculum standards in order to participate in their many formal events.
WHERE AND WHEN ARE PRACTICES?
WHERE AND WHEN ARE PRACTICES?
All practices will be held in the Small Gym at ARS. There will be two weeks of "try it out" session (NOT "try out") for Stars to learn about archery and shoot some arrows before they commit to joining the team (Date and time TBD for 25-26 season).
Fall team practice schedule will be updated in late August 2025
Archers must attend ONE weekday practice, and Saturday practices as scheduled.
WHY ARCHERY?
WHY ARCHERY?
It's a fun, healthy, team sport that helps its athletes build discipline, confidence, patience, and integrity.
WILL MY ARCHER MAKE THE TEAM?
WILL MY ARCHER MAKE THE TEAM?
Yes. At ARS, everybody makes the team. No tryouts, no cuts.
You'll be asked to attend practices, apply your learnings, build some strength, and of course, be a great teammate. You'll need to be passing all of your classes and following the ARS guidelines of appropriate Star behavior. The team participates as completely as possible at most tournaments, and we try very hard to secure enough slots for every willing archer to attend them all, breaking our team into smaller scoring squads as necessary for the 24-archer scoring groups.
We will teach you the safety, the skills, and the techniques to develop all of the abilities required to practice and excel at archery!
