JOAD & ADULT USA ARCHERY CLUB
USA Archery (USAA) is the sanctioning body of the United States Archery Team (USAT) which represents the United States in international competition, and it’s also the sanctioning body for all collegiate archery competition.
USAA’s Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) and Adult Archery Program give archers of all ages the opportunity to progress in the sport at their own pace and measure progress through achievement awards. Additionally, JOAD and Adult USA Archery members can compete in local, state, and national USA Archery tournaments.

JOAD/Adult USAA Club FAQ
No. The club membership does NOT include any practices, classes, or coaching.
Absolutely! We strongly encourage youth members to consider joining Team Arrow Dynamics where they will have the opportunity to participate in regular practices, build friendships, and compete for college scholarships.
No. All skill levels can join, from beginner to elite athlete. While we encourage youth archers to join Team Arrow Dynamics and recommend archers of all ages and skill levels to consider classes or private coaching to help them progress in the sport, these are not requirements. For those who are simply looking for the opportunity to earn achievement awards and participate in USA Archery sanctioned events (as many or as few as you wish), you are welcome to join the club!
The JOAD/Adult USAA jerseys are exactly the same as Team Arrow Dynamics jerseys. Those who wish to have one but are not on the team can purchase them.
