ARCHERY IN LOUISIANA SCHOOLS (ALAS) PROGRAM
Archery in Louisiana Schools (ALAS) is a part of the National Archery in the Schools Program, which introduces students in grades 4 through 12 to international target-style archery. The program is designed to be taught as part of the school’s curriculum, such as in the school’s physical education program. Many schools involved in ALAS also develop after school programs and archery clubs. Students at schools that teach the ALAS curriculum are eligible to compete in state, national, and even world archery tournaments.
Archery is a great way to get students involved in not only a lifelong sport but also in their school and in the outdoors. ALAS seeks to inspire confidence in students through the focus and discipline that archery requires. Statistically, students involved in an archery in the schools program work harder in the classroom and feel more connected to their school. These programs engage both boys and girls equally.
The ALAS/NASP program is available to all schools in Louisiana and grants are available to assist with funding. For more information about the ALAS program, contact Chad Moore at 318-230-4352 or by e-mail to cmoore@wlf.la.gov.
