The Novice Handbook
Indoor Training
Here is how the Novices receive training.
Novice Session
Wednesdays 3pm - 5pm is our Novice session, starting in October after the Novice selections are finalised.
Here you will train as a group and learn and develop the fundamentals of your bowstyle.
Archery Families
This is an extra opportunity to train more and socialise more. You will be assigned to a family of 2 seniors, and other novices. Your "parents" are there to give you advice, coaching, and allow you more range time.
​
​Make sure you are in touch with your "family". Your parents should create a group chat on your preferred platform so you can communicate easily. Have fun!
Ad-hoc open practice
Senior archers might occasionally send messages on Discord to let you know when they will be in the range and whether they are happy for you to join, so please utilise this as much as you can.
Please remember that they are not there to coach you, they have gone to practise themselves. Ask questions if you want, but just be mindful of this. Train what you have learned so far.
