The Green Creek Archery Club Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) program is starting their next session on Thursday, Aug. 8 at 7 p.m.

The group will meet every Thursday at 7 p.m. on the ball field behind the Green Creek Community Center on Coxe Rd. in Green Creek.

Head Coach Jim Vennera is a Level 4 National Coach, and is himself a nationally ranked archer.

Anyone interested in joining the fun and learning more about archery is encouraged to come out then, or call Steve Burney at Medicap Pharmacy 828-894-6112 for more information.

JOAD offers both recurve and compound archers the opportunity to learn range safety and proper shooting technique in an environment that also fosters focus, increased self-confidence, and team building skills.

JOAD is open to any youth archer aged 8 to 20 and is designed to grow with the youth archer.
Introductory JOAD classes teach the fundamentals of proper shooting form; as the young archer develops, they will learn more advanced techniques.
