Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) is a USA Archery program that helps archers to enjoy the sports recreationally or progress to the excitement of competition. The program consists of a series of classes taught by a Maine School of Archery instructor.
JOAD offers archers the opportunity to learn range safety and proper shooting technique in an environment that fosters focus and increased self-confidence. JOAD is open to all youth ages 10-17 years old and is designed to grow with each individual archer.
