NASP: Teach archery to your students in grades 4-12

The National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) is an international-style archery program for students in grades 4-12. The NASP is delivered to students by teachers as an in-school lesson plan through a joint venture between the California Department of Fish and Game and the California Department of Education.

NASP is very popular in physical education classes, but other disciplines are using the program as well.  Teachers are trained by the Department of Fish and Game and must undergo a mandatory 8-10 hour training class to become a NASP-certified instructor.  The training cost is about $55 per teacher and includes NASP membership.

The Department of Fish and Game is offering the NASP program to elementary, middle and high schools. If you are interested in implementing the NASP program in your school, please read the FAQ and apply online.  At the time of application, you may sign up for any of the current trainings being offered or you may request to be notified of a future training.  When your application is submitted, you will receive an email with detailed information, including directions.  Fees are collected at the training.
