Independent local teams are the core of the program. Teams may be formed from schools, gun clubs, neighborhoods, communities or be sponsored by other youth organizations such as 4-H, Boy and Girl Scouts, FFA, to name a few. The CYSSA administrative year starts Sept 1 and runs through August 31. While some teams have year long practices, most end their season with the State Championship.
Throughout the year, local clubs sponsor competitive events, “Series Shoots” in four clay target disciplines, trap, skeet, sporting clays and bunker. The format is 100 targets. Individual awards are given to the top three shooters in each Division and Category. The Series Shoots provide an opportunity for coaches, participants and parents to meet and build new friendships.
