Just a quick reminder about the change to Bylaw 23 regarding Archery, approved at last year’s annual meeting.

Starting with the 2025-26 school year, the first contest date for archery has been moved from October 1st to December 1st. Schools are allowed to schedule a two-week tryout window between the first day of school and December 1st.

With school approval, students may participate in NASP tournaments prior to December 1, provided that:

• The event is listed on the NASP website, and

• It follows all NASP rules and regulations.

See below for all the details regarding Bylaw 23 and Archery. Please reach out if you have any further questions.
