Ready to Join the Team? Contact Us TodaySarasota Archery Academy is proud to offer the Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) program, USA Archery's premier youth development initiative for archers ages 8-20.
JOAD is designed to teach proper shooting technique, range safety, and sportsmanship while building focus, self-confidence, and teamwork. Whether your child is just starting out or aiming for national rankings, JOAD grows with them—from introductory classes on fundamentals to advanced training for competition.
Key benefits include:
Our JOAD archers often participate in USA Archery events on the team schedule, gaining valuable experience alongside adult competitors.
Many families new to tournaments ask about the difference between ASA and USA Archery events. Both are fantastic paths for growth, but they offer unique experiences:
Focuses on 3D archery, where you shoot at lifelike foam animal targets set in natural outdoor settings. Distances can be known or unknown (depending on class), simulating real hunting scenarios while emphasizing fun, strategy, and quick decision-making. Learn more at the official ASA website.
Perfect for: Bowhunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and archers who love variety and excitement. Florida has a strong ASA state series with frequent local events—great for building experience without long travel. Scoring includes bonus rings (up to 12 points!) for precise shots.
The official Olympic and Paralympic governing body, centered on target archery—shooting at round paper targets with concentric scoring rings. Events include indoor (18-20 yards) and outdoor (up to 70 meters) formats, with a strong emphasis on consistency and technical precision.
Perfect for: Archers aiming for college scholarships, national teams, JOAD (youth) rankings, or even the Olympics. It's the pathway to international competition and structured development programs like JOAD.
Our team competes in both, giving you the best of both worlds: the thrill of 3D shoots close to home and the prestige of national target events.
Here's our planned team schedule for 2026, featuring Florida ASA state 3D qualifiers (great for all levels) and key USA Archery nationals, including JOAD-specific opportunities. Events are selected to maximize growth, fun, and success for youth and adult archers. Dates and details subject to confirmation—stay tuned for registration info!
