Targeting Excellence: Archery in Schools

Episode 30

Archery is more than just a sport—it’s a powerful tool for physical fitness, mental focus, and character development. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Tommy Floyd, President of the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP), to explore how archery is engaging students in new and meaningful ways.

We discuss how schools can incorporate archery into their physical education programs, the equipment needed, and opportunities for competition. Dr. Floyd also highlights the many benefits of NASP, from improving student focus and perseverance to fostering teamwork and inclusivity for students of all abilities.

Whether you’re a teacher, coach, or parent, this episode will inspire you to see archery as an accessible and valuable addition to youth sports. Tune in to learn how schools can get involved and why youth archery is a great alternative to traditional team sports!
