Junior Olympic Archery Development, or JOAD (pronounced Joe-Ad) is a part of USA Archery designed to encourage youth to participate in archery. JOAD offers the opportunity to train for competition and to meet other archers in the region and nation. The focus of our program is to improve fundamental skills, learn advanced techniques, and to perfect an individual and consistent shooting style. The program is ongoing throughout the year and new archers can join at any time.
