Commonly asked
questions:
What is an individual tournament?
Individual tournaments are open to all archery students.
They are not team events and they are not required. They are a great opportunity
for students to get tournament experience and we will take scores from these
tournaments into consideration when choosing the tournament competition teams.
Parents are responsible for transportation to and from these tournaments as they
are not directly connected to WCMS archery. When I get info on tournaments
available for individual competition, I will put it on the archery calendar.
What about grade
checks?
I am required to do a grade check prior to team
competitions. If a student has 2 or more F’s, that student will not be allowed
to participate in any archery tournament from that point on. I will do random
grade checks in order to not be “surprised” right before a competition. I
would encourage parents to use STI to keep track of their child’s grades and
not allow hem to come to archery if the grades begin to suffer. This can be a
great motivator if archery is important to the student.
