Archery Beginners Courses Availability: Accepting New Applicants

Archery has become increasingly popular over the last ten years therefore the training waiting list is currently in excess of six months.

When the Rio Olympic games commence training applications will further increase the waiting time.

Once listed we always come back to you at some point with an offer of training.

Our six session archery beginners courses - a total of 12 hours coaching - take place all year round depending on availability. In order to receive a certificate of attendance/competency which is a prerequisite of joining Eccles Archery Club you must be available on all days listed and all six lessons must be attended in sequence.

Junior Archers & Eccles Archery Club

For safety, insurance and child protection reasons, as well as the Archery UK Rules of Shooting, no archery club will allow under 18s to shoot by themselves.

Unlike most clubs, at EAC we have 24/7 access and there are no set times for shooting. This has caused problems in the past - including frustration for the juniors - and we now insist that all juniors have a parent or designated guardian who is both a qualified archer and a full shooting member of EAC.

Therefore, if a junior wants to take the beginners course then a parent or guardian must also take the lessons. Similarly, if a junior wants to join the club, then a parent or guardian must also join the club as a full shooting member.

Presently EAC cannot accept juniors under the age of 10 years for training.
