ONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE STUDENT ATHLETES
AND TEAMS FOR ANOTHER UNFORGETTABLE SEASON.
Once again, you have helped the USA Clay Target League raise
the bar by setting new participation records and expanding
opportunities throughout the country.
The 2026 Spring Season welcomed 40,100 student athletes
on 2,094 high school, college, and homeschool teams nationwide.
The League's continued growth and success would not be possible without the
incredible dedication of students, parents, coaches, and school leaders.
For the events that follow the season, it is the League's goal to provide a
quality competition whereas teams and individuals can compete at all skill levels.
More importantly, we want all participants to be safe and have fun.
Since the League started in 2008 with more than 140,000 participating
student athletes and more than 250 million-plus shots fired, there has never
been a reported injury. Clay target is the safest sport in school and everyone
intends to keep it that way.
In addition to following all League and shooting range safety policies, please
make sure you appreciate your competitors and that each student athlete
deserves our praise and respect.
THANK YOU PARENTS for your dedication and incredible support for your child's involvement in a school-sponsored activity!
THANK YOU COACHES AND TEAM STAFF MEMBERS for sharing your time and talent with these student athletes and their
families. This opportunity for these student athletes would not have happened without you!
THANK YOU SCHOOL LEADERS for your support providing this extracurricular activity to your education community!
THANK YOU SHOOTING RANGES for providing the leadership, facility, volunteers, quality targets, and great experience on each
tournament day!
THANK YOU SPONSORS AND EXHIBITORS for your generosity to help provide this one-of-a-kind event for everyone! On behalf of
our Board of Directors and everyone that helps make this special event possible, be safe, have fun, and shoot well!
