Overview
The Arizona Game and Fish Department Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) is a team-based youth development program that uses the shotgun sports to instill discipline, safety, teamwork, ethics, self-confidence and other life values. Team members can participate in any or all of three clay target disciplines: trap, skeet and sporting clays.
SCTP was developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) in conjunction with the firearms industry and shotgun shooting governing bodies and is now nationally governed by the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (S3F) to provide team participation to youth in the shotgun shooting sports.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department sponsors the program in Arizona and invites students from age 9 though graduation of high school to an opportunity to learn about firearms, safety, and teamwork in a safe environment by certified shotgun coaches.
Participants may choose not to become competitive or may compete in a variety of events from Fun Shoots to State Championships to National Championships.
