We would like to get to know you better... and have you get to know us better.
We would like to invite you to be a part of our club (or team for that matter if you think you've got the goods... or are willing to work to develop the goods).
Sun Devil Archery (SDA) has already held its Fall semester introduction class for ASU folks, but don't let that deter you... We partner with other folks (and help teach) to make sure that you have all the opportunities you could want or need to learn and/or continue with the sport.

SUN DEVIL ARCHERY CLUB/TEAM:
If you are thinking about making this a competitive thing, or are looking for something which is "a bit more," we invite you to SDA practices. Club/Team practices are PERFECT for those of you who have your own equipment, those who have taken the Papago classes, and/or those are interested in joining the team.
SDA Club Practices - As mentioned above, if you don't have your own equipment, but are REALLY REALLY interested, don't be shy. Come join us for team/club practices.
o You don't have to be good... just equipped or ready to commit to some serious shooting.
o Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6 at Papago (when we are in town… check the SDA calendar).
ASU Archery Team - If you are considering joining the team... either in the Fall or Spring semesters… let me know ASAP.
o We can teach you what you need to know and help with equipment, but there are significant time and funding commitments. In other words, we'll do everything we can from our end to get you representing ASU, but you have to be willing to do your part on the practice and travel side.
o Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6 at Papago (when we are in town… check the SDA calendar).
