All interested archers and families should plan to attend this session to learn about the program and ask any questions you might have.

Complete the Interest Form

Even if you filled out the form last year, you need to do it again! This is crucial for organizing training and tryouts.

Weekly training: Depending on the level of interest, you’ll be assigned to one training day per week from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. You’ll need to arrive on time, help set up equipment, warm up, and collaborate with the team.

Mandatory Safety Meetings: All interested students must attend a safety meeting before participating in any further team activities. Even if you’ve done this before, it’s a must to do it again.

Dates:
Tuesday, October 1st OR Wednesday, October 2nd
Time: 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM
Pick the day that works best for you!

Archery Training:
Once you’ve attended a Mandatory Safety Meeting, you’re ready to start training!

Dates: October 8th – November 6th
Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Tuesdays: Da Vinci Communications and Da Vinci Design students
Wednesdays: Da Vinci Science and Da Vinci Connect students
(Subject to change based on interest)

Tryouts to Make the Team: Two rounds of tryouts will be held using Olympic ranking criteria. Your scores from both rounds will determine your ranking.

Dates:
November 12th & 19th: DVD and DVC students
November 13th & 20th: DV Connect and DVS students
(Subject to change based on interest)

The top 20 archers will secure spots on the team, forming both JV and Varsity squads. Those who don’t make the team this year will be encouraged to try out again next year.

Practice Schedule for Team Members: Once the team is selected, practices will be held twice a week (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, starting after Thanksgiving Break.

Competition Season: The season kicks off in January, with tournaments running from February through mid-May. Please note that competitions are far away (Beaumont/Chula Vista), and school transportation will not be provided.
