Troopers to take part in clay target league
Garrison students are among nearly 2,000 North Dakota teens taking part in the state’s high school clay target league this year.
A total of 1,940 student athletes representing 84 high school teams across the state are participating in the North Dakota State High School Clay Target League (NDSHSCTL) this spring. The NDSHCTL is a part of the USA Clay Target League, which offers high school and college programs in 34 states.
“After a tremendously difficult 2020 for schools and student athletes, we are pleased to surpass our pre-COVID spring participation numbers.” said John Nelson, President of the USACTL, “The record-setting participation this spring is the result of the incredible efforts of coaches and families to overcome ongoing issues with the pandemic and ammunition shortages.”
The League’s co-ed and adaptive nature are key attractions to schools nationwide. The League is fully Title IX compliant with both male and female athletes competing on the same team. Additionally, it’s an ‘adaptive’ sport, which allows students with physical disabilities to take part. The League is also the safest sport in high school, with not one reported injury since the inception of the League in 2001. Each athlete must complete firearm safety certification before participation.
