October 8, 2014Shooting sports offered to interested SC schools
The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announces a new shooting sports opportunity for Palmetto State schools. The DNR Scholastic Clay Target Sports (SCTS) is a
team based youth development program that uses the shotgun sports of trap, skeet, and sporting clays to instil life skills such as discipline, safety, teamwork, ethics, self-confidence and other life values.
Following the proven scholastic approach used in the National Archery in the Schools program, DNR is offering new school team packages that will include free head coach training and team practices. To be a school team you must be a sanctioned private, public, or home school in South Carolina. Home school teams must be a part of a recognized home school association.
For more information please visit the SCTS webpage. If you are interested in starting a DNR team please contact the DNR State Shooting Sports Coordinator Ryan Bass at 1-800-277-4301 or email bassr@dnr.sc.gov.
