Yes. We are not a school affiliated sports team. Therefore, we accept all children in 6th through 12th grade who are enrolled at CPU schools or are homeschooled. Please contact us if your child is a homeschooled student.

Registration for the year begins in September and ends October 16, 2023. Feel free to follow us on Facebook for updates.

Archers need to either own or rent a Genesis Original Bow; each archer will be supplied a string bow that they MUST bring to each practice. Archers that purchase their own bow are responsible for performing any needed maintenance on it and having spare arrow rests and nocks. The Stormin’ Archers own bows that archers may rent for $10; a $100 deposit is required and will only be cashed if the bow is damaged.

We never want the cost of archery to prohibit anyone from trying it. If the cost of registration or bow rental is a burden, the club has registration and equipment rental scholarships available.

Archers can arrive 5 minutes before practice begins. They must leave the middle school immediately after their practice time.

Archers MUST have long pants and closed toe shoes to practice. Archers not wearing long pants or closed toe shoes will be sent home and will not be given credit for participating in that practice.

Archers MUST attend the practice times they have been assigned to.

Archers must attend 50% of the practices (~2 practices/week) to be considered for the tournament teams or State/Nationals. The % is calculated over the course of the season and can be seen when the archers log in/out. If less than 50% archer can still shoot at tournaments as an individual Archer must participate in 50% of our tournaments to be eligible for State/National teams.

NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES ALLOWED DURING PRACTICE – if a coach sees any archer using any electronic device, that archer will will receive 1 warning and then will be dismissed from practice without credit.

You may send an email to cpuarcherycoach@gmail.com letting us know they won't be attending; however you are not required to let us know.

There will be 8 Bullseye tournaments and 8 3D tournaments during the season. Tournaments are held January - February, with the State tournament in March in Des Moines and Nationals in May in Salt Lake City, Utah. The regular season tournaments are within a 2.5 hour radius, and each archer is responsible for their own transportation.

To be considered for a team that participates in the state tournament, archers MUST have participated in 50% of the regular season tournaments.
