Who We Are
We are the AISD district-wide
|
Overview
In 2015, the Arlington ISD launched our district-wide archery program for high school students. Archery is hosted at the Arlington ISD Archery Center for all archers in the district, and transportation is provided to and from the archery facility for students in need of transportation. Archery is blocked during the school day. Students are expected to practice and compete outside of the school day. Archery practice facilities are open to students after school each day that the students have class. Archers will also be expected to attend archery competitions as scheduled by the archery coach. These competitions may include but are not limited to weekend competitions. Archery follows all UIL guidelines as they pertain to academic eligibility. In the movie, Field of Dreams, Ray hears a voice whispering, "If you build it, he will come." So is true for the Ariington ISD Archery Program. With one of the only indoor school sponsored practice facilities in Texas and the 2016 State Champions, the program has exploded. In 2016-2017, over 400 students are enrolled in archery. Through practice and weekend tournaments, archers will earn the opportunity to fill a spot on their respective school's JV or Varsity Archery Team. About AISD School Teams
In the spring, archers will be selected for each high school team. NASP archery has been developed to create an athletic environment that is inclusive of all students. NASP teams are made up of 24 archers. Click on this link to learn how each AISD high school team will be selected as well as how scores are achieved. More About the Sport
In archery, students are introduced to and engaged in one of the oldest forms of sport. Students are progressively and systematically taught the basic concepts of competitive archery. Archery is intentionally a coed activity, therefore, both males and females alike compete together for their respective schools. |
