Youth Archer Recurve Development (YARD) Program
XQuest Archery is pleased to announce our Youth Development Program which had to be postponed due to COVID-19.
Our YARD Program is geared towards young archers to assist them in building the discipline and dedication necessary to optimize individual skills in combination with the training to realize personal goals and potential.
This program provides every participant with a chance to succeed through the development of long-term skills such as confidence, perseverance, sportsmanship, goal setting, respect, a strong work ethic and a sense of accomplishment in their abilities.
Archery teaches participants fundamental movement skills, fundamental sport skills and the ABC’s – agility, balance, coordination and speed – of physical literacy.
Archery’s Long-Term Archer Development (LTAD) model consists of seven stages.
- Active Start (0 years in sport) – Learn fundamental movement and link them in play settings
- FUNdementals (0 – 4 years in sport) – Builds overall motor skills with an emphasis on initiation, sport basics and safety.
- Learn to Shoot (1 – 4 years in sport) – Develops overall sport skills with an emphasis on development of form.
- Train to Shoot (2 – 8 years in sport) – Establishes an aerobic base, develops speed and strength, and consolidates sport-specific skills
- Train to Compete (4 – 10 years in sport) – Optimizes physical preparation and sport-specific skills, while learning competition and performance skills
- Shoot to Excel (7+ years in sports) – Maximizes overall skills and preparation while perfecting focus and flow, and shooting for rankings
- Shoot for Life (Any Age) – Encourages lifelong participation, whether competitive or recreational, in physical activity and/or sport
XQuest Archery’s Youth Archer Recurve Development Program will focus on the Learn to Shoot and Train to Shoot stages of Long-Term Archer Development.
Youth involved in the YARD Program should shoot at a minimum one other session per week and are eligible for competitive funding through our Competition Recurve Development Fund. (Criteria must be met to be eligible)
Entry into our YARD Program is limited to 6 participants and those interested should speak to our head coach.
Archers spend two hours per week with Coach Sherise Charles and Head Coach, Janice Clark
The Program runs on Fridays from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
