California Indoor Archers (aka “the CIA”)

All members of the California Indoor Archers (regardless of group level), must acquire and maintain an active archery association membership in one the following archery associations in order to be able to actively compete with the rest of the club when needed.  

• OPTION 1: USA Archery (USAA)
  • “Youth All-Access”
  • “Collegiate All-Access”
  • “Adult All-Access”
  • “Family All-Access” Membership
• OPTION 2: National Field Archery Association (NFAA)
  
  • “Youth/Junior Competitive”
  • “Regular/Individual Competitive”
  • “Family Competitive”

Each JOAD or AAP groups are also highyly encouraged to actively compete in tournaments each calendar year. 

As the home range (South Bay Archery Lessons) hosts a minimum of 2-3 tournaments per calendar year (local, state and regional levels). 

BOTH the Annual and Monthly fees are required to be paid regularly to maintain active club membership

• Annual pays for:
  • 1x new Black Polo Club Shirt per year
  • 1 set of excercise stretch bands per year (blue = strength / red = form)
  • USAA Achievement Lanyards & Star Award Pins earned during pin shoots & tournaments
• Monthly pays for:
  • 3x group classes/month (1st three weekends)
  • 1x shooting time option for monthly Pin Shoot (4th weekend)

Active and "In Good Standing" Club Membership with the California Infoor Archers (aka "the CIA") also allows for access to the lowest offered per session and package (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual) rates during Open Shooting

 

There is NO pro-rating or refunds for missed classes during a month.  There are possibilities of earning CIA Open Shooting (OS) tokens if missing a class as a direct result of competing in a tournament

Hiatus is acceptable with advance notice but may not exceed 3 months per calendar year to maintain active membership.  This does not include December, which is a standard club hiatus month each calendar year due to students' differing holiday & vacation schedules, no monthly is paid this month but Open Shooting is still available. 

Official class & Pin Shoot calendar is available through the club members' website. 

At the end of the month, usually the 4th weekend, all active club members are required (if available to attend that month) to attend for their monthly “In-House Pin Shoot Tournament” which is included in their monthly rate as their 4th class session.

This monthly event situation is designed to give all members and JOAD parents a different type of training by placing them in a real tournament hosted situation with scoring time clock, double scoring (paper & digital / alternatively: double paper), lane assignments/rotations, live score results, and many more aspects of real tournaments that they will encounter on their archery journey.  Additionally, it helps ease frustration in tournament registration by giving them real tournament style registration practice. 

Additionally, this monthly event gives them the opportunity to earn USAA Achievement Pins (more reference materials) and shows them how much they have individually improved and grown month over month as well as building in-house club member interaction between the different group levels and JOAD parents. 

While we would love to be able to invite anyone to join our club, unfortunately we are unable to do so due to our group size limitations of no more than 11 active members per any group or group ranking level at any given time for best training capability. Therefore, we have to adhere to our tryout / invite only layout for the foreseeable future.  We apologize for this inconvenience in advance.

Those who placed a little lower on the final tryouts scoring system than others who were invited to official join, will be placed on a waitlist until the next tournament season tryout (scoring results do not carry over to different seasons due to different distance/scoring requirements).

Should any invited students decline the invite or decide to resign their spot at any time during the originally tried for season, then those on the active season's waitlist will be invited to join based on their original scoring placement. 

Those members who fail to fulfill the basic annual competition and/or monthly group participation requirements after they have been joined may choose to resign or be asked to consider resigning / temporarily resigning their spot in order to give opportunities to other interested students due to the limited space available in each group.
