Youth Archery

Program Overview

UC Berkeley Youth Archery is a weekend program designed to provide introductory recreational shooting opportunities to novice archers, as well as coaching designed to help more experienced archers improve their form and performance. Our objective is to provide a recreational archery experience to as many interested youth as possible and provide an opportunity for youth to discover a new passion.

All archers must be able to follow directions and sit still/quietly while instruction is given. Mature and calm behavior is required on the archery range for everyone’s safety. Those unable to comply with range safety rules may be asked to leave. Refunds will only be given for lessons missed due to program cancellations. Any lessons missed for personal reasons will not be refunded.

Beginner Schedule

Beginner archery is the perfect class for someone who has never tried archery before and wants to learn the basics, or for those who have only tried archery once or twice at camp. All equipment is provided and our team of certified instructors use a mix of exercises and games to teach everything you need to know about archery form and safety. Participants may bring their own equipment as long as their arrow are target tips, and their bows are no higher than 20lb draw weight.

Session 1 consists of 7 consecutive Saturday meetings.

Session 2 consists of 6 total Saturday meetings, with 11/25 off for Thanksgiving.
