Children & Family Archery Club

Children & Family Archery Club

We run weekly archery sessions for children and family. These archery lessons are run during term time after school on Mondays from 5:15pm – 6:30pm and Saturday mornings from 9:30am – 10:45am at our great indoor venue Caxton House in Archway North London.

The club is designed for children aged 9 – 14 years old, although being a family archery club we are more than happy to welcome parents to shoot alongside their children too, or just relax and grab a cup of tea!

The sessions definitely have a child friendly theme with lots of fun archery games, but also mixed with high quality coaching. Class numbers are limited so there is plenty of one-to-one coaching as well as part of the group.

All equipment is provided, we are fully insured and coaching is run by qualified Archery GB instructors who are all DBS checked.

(CURRENTLY THE CHILDREN & FAMILY CLUB SESSIONS ARE NOT RUNNING…HOWEVER ALL OUR OTHER HAVE A GO LESSONS, BEGINNER COURSES & OUR WEEKLY CLUB SHOOTING SESSIONS ARE RUNNING AS NORMAL!)

Children and Family Have a Go Sessions

These session cost £17.50 for children and £22.50 for adults. They are open to complete beginners and regular club shooters. Contact us for more info.
