Our Archery League is designed to focus on building a team atmosphere by engaging both the archers and spectators in exciting match play. A school archery team consists of 10 archers. 4 archers will do individual matches while the other 6 will do team round matches. The league season goes from February to April. Each participating school will be grouped with up to 3 other local schools to form a conference (Middle and High Schools will be grouped separately). During the season, each school will have one home and one away League Match with each of the other school. At the end of the season, the schools will come together for the League Finals and then State Championships. For more details and printed material, please download our Archery League Info Packet.
