Archery in Schools
Since 2008 members of Deer Park Archers have worked with Active Gloucestershire,
the County's Sports Partnership running 8 week Beginners Courses funded by Sport Unlimited. Each School Term the number
of after-school clubs increases, as does the waiting list of schools and juniors that want to be involved!
Coaching
All the supporting coaches are Archery
GB qualified with all the necessary Child Protection Certificates, Insurance, first aid certificates etc and they
employ the latest techniques to support the development of the participants.
Equipment
We
are fortunate to be able to use excellent equipment including the latest recurve and Genesis bows. With the help of our CSP
and Archery GB we have now purchased 8 metal riser bows with sights, pressure buttons, longrods etc to support those in the
after-school clubs who are making significant development/progress. We also have the latest Hoyt Ruckus Compound Bows to support
pupils that wish to develop their Compound Bow skills.
Exit Routes
Many of the archers either
join local clubs or increasingly remain with their after-school clubs which we are helping to set up and support.
School Activity Days
We are also fortunate
to be supporting a number of schools for all-day sporting experiences for a fortnight in June/July.
We also are
supporting a number of 'Playground to Podium' programs run by Active Gloucestershire which draw on those with disabilities
from a range of schools.

Beginners Courses and as part of the programme held an Inter-School Competition during March. As well as individual winners
from each school (receiving certificates) there was 3 overall winners each receiving medals and also a winning after-school
team.
The schools involved were Archway (2 teams), Whitminster (1 team), Balcarras (2 teams), Sir William
Romney (2 teams), Kingshill (2 teams) and Bourneside School.
Where a school had 2 entries that is an indication
that they now have an after-school club which has members (improvers) that have continued from previous terms/courses.
