Soft archery training for primary schools

Would you like to introduce soft archery to your school or youth group? We have soft archery courses for teachers and young leaders to give you the skills to deliver this fun and inclusive sport.

Arrows Archery is designed to be delivered by teachers and sports coordinators through the support of easy-to-use resources and activity cards. No formal training is required to deliver Arrows Archery, but we do have an Introduction to Soft Archery Course if extra support is required.

Introduction to Soft Archery Course

The Introduction to Soft Archery Course provides attendees with a practical opportunity to familiarise themselves with the equipment, shooting technique, and activities included in soft archery. This course supports teachers and adults in their delivery of soft archery to young people.
