Archery is the one sport that knows no barriers and has been a part of every culture on earth for millennia. It is a sport for all sexes, all economic backgrounds, all ethnic And racial backgrounds. It is a sport that is accessible by the able-bodied and disabled alike and creates an even playing field, regardless of any limitations. The only two sports safer than archery are badminton and ping-pong, and in this day and age of severe traumatic brain injury due to sports participation and other complications that are becoming apparent in other sports, our Schools and colleges should have access to funding to provide this vital sport to all of our students and for profit businesses that focus on coaching all of our citizens in this sport should be able to access the funds to provide the facilities and equipment for this sport.
Archery is a sport that can be access for a couple hundred dollars per student and our disabled students do not require tens of thousands of dollars in extra equipment for the same opportunities that this sport provides. Our disabled students can be easily accommodated or less than $500 per student. This low cost sport can be made available at a fraction of the equipment cost and insurance cost of any other sport or activity that schools currently conduct.
Thank you for the opportunity to state this sincerely Coach Tim
