Upcoming Coaching Clinic: Instructor of Beginner Archers

We will be hosting another Coaching Clinic where you will have the opportunity to get your Instructor of Beginner Archers (Level 1) certification from Archery BC/Archery Canada. The clinic will run over 3 evening sessions – Apr. 28, May 12, and May 26 from 7:30-9:30pm at Saanich Commonwealth Place. If you’re interested, mark your calendars and stay tuned for further details and sign up information to come soon. The club will subsidize your fee upon successful completion of your certification.

This certification allows you to teach basic skills to individuals with very little or no experience in archery, and focuses on teaching the fundamentals of archery with an emphasis on safety. This certification is required to teach archery for the club, as required by our insurance, and our paid instructors teaching classes at Saanich Commonwealth (or elsewhere) are required to be certified. Read more about it here.

Range Safety Officers needed

We are always in need of some more Range Safety Officers (RSOs) to help run our club shoots safely. If you’d like to get certified, the training is free and all online, and the test is ‘open book’. You’ll find more details on the Archery Canada Website. Once you’ve completed it, you can then be added to the club list of RSOs.
