Extract

The National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) began in Kentucky, USA in 2002 and has rapidly expanded to thousands of students around the United States. The program teaches archery in physical education classes and organises tournaments for student archers in elementary school and high school. The program goals include improving student motivation, attention, behaviour, attendance and focus, as well as introducing students to an outdoor skill with the hope that this may increase attention to wildlife conservation efforts in the future.
