| The National Youth Shooting Sports Leadership Conference offers opportunities to learn how to improve your marksmanship training work with youth from presentations given by some of the nation’s leading shooting coaches and program administrators. |
If you work with junior shooters and want to grow and improve your program, you belong at the 2006 National Youth Shooting Sports Leadership Conference and Training Week. Any one who serves as a leader, coach, instructor or active parent in a high school or junior shooting program can benefit from the training courses and conference presentations that will be available at Camp Perry, Ohio on 19-24 September.
The 2006 National Youth Shooting Sports Leadership Conference will be hosted by the CMP, but the conference and training courses that precede it are a joint effort of the NRA Education & Training Division, USA Shooting and the CMP. The Youth Leadership Conference alternates years with the National Shooting Coaches College that is hosted by USA Shooting. The overall objective of the conference and training week is to foster greater knowledge and effectiveness among junior shooting sports leaders.
