The SCAA Winter Leagues are open to all Sussex Junior Archers and run from 1st November until 31st March each year. Entry is free. No pre-registration is required, and the sooner you start the better.
The Indoor Competition will be shot on a 60cm FITA (Portsmouth) Face at a distance of 20 yards. The first 3 dozen arrows of a Portsmouth round may be used as a junior league score.
The Outdoor Frostbite Competition will be shot on an 80cm FITA Face, at a distance of 10, 20 or 30 metres, depending on gender and age.
There are separate leagues for Recurve, Compound, Barebow and Longbow.
IT’S EASY! Just shoot a round of 3 dozen arrows each month at one of our Club Days and email the best indoor (and outdoor) score for the month to the Winter League Secretary at junior-winter-league@sussex-archery.org.uk.
To obtain a qualifying final score, you must submit at least three months worth of scores. The final scores at the end of the season will be the total of the best three scores shot during the competition.
Prizes will be given to the winners in each bow style for both girls and boys, and awards will also be given at the League Secretary’s discretion that will take account of age and ability, or any factor that seems worthwhile considering.
As we get into the Winter months somebody usually takes on the job of League Wrangler, to collect the scores and make sure they’re sent off on time. Most of our Juniors shoot the Indoor League, but if the weather is good and you’re a hardy type, you could shoot a ‘Frostbite’ Round Outdoors on a Saturday or Sunday Morning.
