California National Archery in the Schools Program

Teach Archery to Students in Grades 4-12

The National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) is an international-style archery program taught by teachers and delivered to students in physical education classes in grades 4-12.

In many states, the program is adopted and administered by state wildlife agencies. In California, the program (CalNASP) is administered by CDFW in consultation with the California Department of Education.

Teachers are trained by volunteer archery instructors to become NASP certified. Classes are offered as an in-person (eight hours) or a hybrid (four hours online, four hours in-person) options.
