We are always looking for new ways to provide members with opportunities for progression, and this month we are launching two new programmes:-

Boost – Is a six session course of intermediate coaching which aims to provide new members with the knowledge and enthusiasm to take their archery forward.  The course consists of sessions focussing on shooting, and Archery GB drills and skills training, as well as sessions on equipment and progression.  This course is by invitation, and the first sessions will commence next week.

Squad Coaching – This will be a continuous series of sessions open to all members who have the desire, and dedication, to take the next steps in archery.  Through individual observations and action plans, the coaches will proactively assist individuals looking to represent the club at competition, or reach a new performance goal.  There is no magic wand for improvement, and delegates will be expected to practise the corrective actions given.  Anyone wishing to attend a session, or series of sessions should register with Nik via admin@brixhamarchers.co.uk.

These sessions will commence on Weds 5th of November at 7pm and be run on alternate weeks, as displayed in the web site calendar.

                In order to make these facilities available, we have had to make a change to the Club sessions.

• There will be no Wednesday evening club sessions from Wednesday the 29th of October.  The Wednesday afternoon, and Juniors sessions are unchanged.
• The Unit will be open for a replacement club session on Thursday Evenings, commencing Thursday 6th of November.
• The Unit will not be open on Thursday the 23rd of October.

            Halloween Shoot – The Halloween shoot previously advertised for Wednesday the 29th of October has been rescheduled to Thursday the 30th of October.

     We have been selected as a pilot club for the Archery GB Boost programme, which will be a series of 6 structured coaching sessions aimed at improving archers coming out of their beginners course and into the club and competition environment.

     As these sessions are planned and scheduled over the next couple of weeks, we will be ceasing the Thursday evening Improvers session as currently delivered.  This week, Thursday the 9th will be the last evening that the Unit is open for this.

     We, as a coaching team and committee, are working on running Boost modules every alternate week, and open intermediate coaching / squad training in between.  Further details will be published as they are finalised

 It is predicted that the first Boost session will be scheduled for Thursday the 23rd of October.  Details of how to register will follow

Many Thanks

Brixham have reached the Quarter Finals of the National On Target competition, and we’re hosting Cleve Archers at 5pm on Friday the 10th of October.  Please feel free to come and support, or lend a hand with the set up from 4:15.

Brixham took first second and associate third on Sunday the 5th of October in Crediton in the Gents recurve category for the Eagle shoot.  Shooting a Worcester round, Jack scored 262, Darren 269 and Nik 279.
