Trap shooting facilities at the North East Sportsmens Club

At the last school board meeting on May 16th, the school board voted for a Memorandum of Understanding between the school district and the North East Sportsmen’s Club to form the North East High School Clay Target Team.

Scott Hammer, Sportsmen’s Club President:

…proposed to form a Clay Target Team for the purpose of training students who are currently enrolled in the North East School District in grades 6 through 12 that are between the ages of 12 through 18 and coaching them for competition in clay target shooting matches under the auspices of the Pennsylvania State High School Clay Target League

[Clay target shooting is]:

… an adaptive secondary school activity, which focuses on firearms safety, firearms training, equal opportunity participation, fun, and marksmanship. The goal of PSHSCTL is to promote gun safety and sportsmanship through the vehicle of competition between recognized trapshooting clubs

Competitive clay target shooting is an excellent sport that develops coordination, precision marksmanship and teaches all around firearms safety. For an individual student who may not find other forms of athletic competition appealing, it offers an opportunity to participate and excel through the development of high level shooting skills.

Details of the agreement between the NESD and the Sportsmen’s Club are at the link below:

  1. This is exciting news for students who have never found a team or club that is of interest to them at NESD….we have a large community of talented students who have never felt like a “Grape Picker”, and now for many this is a welcome opportunity!! Thank you Mr. Hammer for supporting this effort!!
