2 Important Information from the PSAA Board Meetings Regional Realignment Starting January 1, the PSSA will be trying a new alignment of the regions. This will be a trial basis for 2014 season. The board will revisit this during the October 2014 meeting after reviewing the shooter participation. During the meeting the board will vote to determine whether it will become permanent or not. See the Regional Listings and Section both in this Newsletter and on the Website for full details! Youth Classification All youth that move from one age group to another must reclassify for the new age group. PreCadet Children 9 and under will be in a pre-cadet division. These children will compete as division based groups with no classification. The will be accompanied by an adult shooter for the field tournaments. Youth Qualification All new youth must shoot a qualifying round for target games (indoor & target rounds) and field games (field/hunter & animal) at a PSAA club monitored by a knowledgeable PSAA member prior to attending a State Championship Tournament. Classification This is an important process and needs to be completed before attending a State Tournament. You can classify at a Regional shoot or at any PSAA member club. If your club is not a PSAA member, contact your regional delegate for help. If you are not classified prior to a State Tournament, you will be placed in the top class of your division for the tournament. The only classification cards that will be accepted at the tournament will be the Official PSAA Classification Card. A Special Thank You To John Pawlowski John has served in office for the Pennsylvania State Archery Association for many years will mark his last year as an officer with the state. John is stepping down from the Vice President position starting January 1, During his time with the Pennsylvania State Archery Association, John has worked very hard at promoting the organization and the sport of archery in general.
