Archery
Archery is an art of using a bow to shoot an arrow within a specific distance. Archery is an Olympic sport and is an individual as well as a team event which helps boost physical development and team work. An archer needs boundless stamina, upper body and core strength to hold the bow and keep steady while aiming at the target.
Our School provides Archery coaching on a standard-size Archery field, under the supervision of Mr. Alex AT who is a NIS, AAI Level 2 & Level 3(South Korea) Coach.
