Youth Programs

Youth shooting programs are supported through the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF), a non-profit educational-athletic organization providing the administrative support and direction for the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP).

MISSION

The Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation's mission is to introduce young people in grades 12 and under to the shooting sports and to facilitate their continued involvement in the shooting sports. The Scholastic Clay Target Program is the vehicle employed to make this happen.

Youth from the elementary grades through high school are eligible to participate in the safe, educational and enjoyable SCTP clay target sports of Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays, ISSF Trap, and ISSF Skeet. The SCTP is ideally suited to become a school sponsored Title IX Sport. There is no other sport that offers such an absolutely “level playing field” for gender integration as does the shooting sports. The SCTP is a perfect fit for youth organizations such as Boy Scouts, 4-H, F.F.A., P.A.L., Girl Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, et al. Any youth organization is welcome to participate in the SCTP.
