Juniors are encouraged to shoot the Club shoots as well as JAMA rounds, and enter tournaments.  There are two major JAMA-only tournaments a year, the North Island and South Island championships.

Juniors are organised into age divisions as follows: Under 20; Under 17; Under 14; Under 12; and Under 10.  The age divisions are set on the first of January each year. That is, if you turn 17 in June, you are U17 for that entire year, and will become U20 the following January.  The minimum age for archers in our Club is generally 10 years old.

JAMA shoots are held on Saturday mornings between 10:30 am and 12:00 pm.  Please make sure you are there before 10am to help set up the range, open targets and set up scoresheets.  Scores from the shoots are sent away to the National JAMA Convenor from clubs all over the country.  The JAMA fee for this is included in the ANZ fee.

The organised rounds and pin scores for the JAMA groups are posted on the JAMA section of the club notice board.

A very good opportunity for successful JAMA archers to take their first step in an international event is the Trans-Tasman Test.  It is held every two years either in New Zealand or Australia.  This is a chance for our junior archers to compete against the Australian juniors, a great opportunity and heaps of fun!  Our club has a strong history of representation in this team.
