Coaches’ Need to Know Information

Coaches’ and NASP Alumni Shoot Off – To give more coaches and NASP alumni a chance to participate, we will have our Coaches’ Shoot Off, sponsored by SGC Foodservice, each day after the last flight is over. Coaches and NASP alumni will have a chance at their own friendly bullseye competition, all while supporting youth archery. The top three highest scoring coaches from all three days will receive a prize. Coaches and NASP alumni will get a practice round of five arrows at 10 meters. From 10 meters, each participant will shoot four arrows of the same color and one arrow of a different color, which is worth double the points to help break ties. Particpants will score each other. Your $10 donation to participate supports youth archery. You can register at Coaches’ Check In.

Check in / Coaches’ Information – While not required, we highly encourage all teams to pay their registration fees before the tournament ($30 for bullseye and $30 for 3D) online or by mail at PO Box 366, Jefferson City, MO 65102. If sending by mail, please email angie.mcmichael@mochf.org to let us know the check number, check amount, how many registered for bullseye and 3D, and schools you are paying for.
