Our aim is to provide a quality experience and to make learning archery fun!!
COACHES
Training is delivered by experienced, fully trained Archery GB coaches with full DSB clearance. We aim for a ratio of one coach to two/three participants at any one time.
EQUIPMENT
All equipment is provided and the information we ask for when you book is to equip you appropriately and safely for your shooting.
INCLUSION
Archery is an inclusive sport and we will endeavour to accommodate any disability. This is why we ask you to state, when booking, any known disability that you think may need taking into consideration to help your participation in archery. We can then make appropriate provision.
SUPERVISION
It is an Archery GB requirement that any child 15 and under must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at ALL times whilst they are at the field. Children aged between 16 and 17 years old may shoot unaccompanied only by prior arrangement with the club with written consent. If the adult is a course participant then that fulfils this obligation.
