The Capital Region Archery Club has a long-standing tradition of excellence in its education programs with classes offered to beginner and intermediate archers several times a week.

Classes are offered as a FREE service to members. Information on membership can be found here.

All of our coaches are unpaid, dedicated volunteers who spend countless hours helping individuals with obtaining and improving their archery skills.  Each coach is screened and undergoes a background check, including a Vulnerable Sector Police Information Check. All of our coaches have been trained through the Coaching Association of Canada's (C.A.C.) National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) and have Emergency Level First Aid Certification.
