SCHOLASTIC CLAY TARGET PROGRAM

SAN DIEGO Shotgun Sports Association offers students the opportunity to participate in a national trapshooting program designed specifically for them.

The Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) is a national program administered by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) in affiliation with the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA).

The Program Goals are:
To teach safe and responsible handling and use of firearms.
To develop amateur athletes for national and international shotgun competitions.
To build character and citizenship through teamwork.
To encourage participation in a lifetime sport that families can enjoy.
The SCTP trapshooting program at SAN DIEGOShotgun Sports is embarking on its sixth year. Our students fall into two groups:
Those who want to compete at the highest levels
Those who wish to improve their recreational shooting skills.
SCTP is a team sport with shooters placed in 5-man squads
