I have to concur that if given the opportunity to work with kids, take it. It just might be the most rewarding thing you could do.
Five years ago we started a Scholastic Clay Target Program team at our local club. Our club is a small, rural, northern PA club and not near any population center. As a result we have but few kids participating but we have been successful. We compete in the sporting clays venue but we have no sporting clays range at the club so we use 5-stand for training. Our best year we took a 1st and 2nd place at the state championship and came in the top ten at nationals. Not bad for a bunch country bumpkins with an old geezer as coach. Of the original kids, one is becoming a bio-medical engineer, one and airline pilot, and another a veterinarian. Good kids and a whole bunch of fun.
We have a new bunch this year, most 10-12 years old. I see a bunch of potential. Look out you other SCTPers.
