How many scho­l­ar­s­hips are there?

Recei­ving a sports scho­l­ar­ship is the ulti­mate goal for all our athletes. But how many teams actually exist and how many full scho­l­ar­s­hips can they award? In archery men and women have equal chances in recei­ving a scho­l­ar­ship. Here are the current numbers: Univer­si­ties with archery teams:

  • Men: 35
  • Women: 27

Full scho­l­ar­s­hips per team:

  • Men: 3,6
  • Women: 3,6

How is the trai­ning and the season struc­tured in the USA?

The trai­ning is similar to prac­tice programs in other parts of the world. However, the emphasis on team spirit is in the fore­front during trai­ning, so that the team­mates push each other to achieve top perfor­mances. The coaches are mostly full-time employees at the univer­sity and take care of the team without restric­tions. In addi­tion, the athletes have full access to physical thera­pists, weight trai­ners and nutri­tio­nists and can enjoy the high-class trai­ning faci­li­ties that many univer­si­ties offer. Young athletes can develop to a higher level while in the USA.

The season usually starts at the begin­ning of October and ends – depen­ding on how you or your team perform – in mid-March with the national cham­pions­hips. In between there are compe­ti­tions almost every weekend.
