INVITATION PROCESS FOR 2017 National Junior Olympics The invitation process for the 2017. To ensure we have space for all competitors, USAS has moved to a cut-off score process. An automatic invitation will be given to anyone who competes in a Double Trap or Skeet State JO match. All members of the Junior Olympic Shotgun Team and National Junior Shotgun Team will receive an automatic invite. USAS will also have open slots that are available to anyone who has hit the required cut-off score for Trap. These slots will be filled on a first come first serve basis, with registration done via Rail Station (USAS online registration program). Registration opening and closing dates will be announced under the National Junior Olympic Program tab in plenty of time for shooters to be prepared for signing up. This will allow for fast, efficient and effective communication to take place with all those interested in attending. Beyond the open slots, a waiting list will be formed for those who did not qualify in any of the above processes. The waiting list will also be a first come first serve signup process as well. 2017 National Junior Olympic Cut-Off Scores Trap Women - 75 /125 Trap Men 75 /125 Skeet Women Open to all (UNTIL FILLED) Skeet Men Open to all (UNTIL FILLED) Double Trap Open to all (UNTIL FILLED) Schedule: (please note the below schedule is subject to change) 2017 National Junior Olympic Shooting Championships (Schedule Tentative) June 9 June 10 June 11 June 12 June 13 June 14 June 15 June 16 Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Open Open Trap OTR Trap Trap Skeet OTR Skeet Skeet Training Training Final DT OTR DT Final Final Special Notes for those athletes whom qualify for the National JO & who plan to attend: State Shooting Clinic: CTC-TN & USA National Junior Development Coach Chad Whittenburg will host a JO Clinic in preparation for the National Junior Olympics.
