4 Years ago, statements centered around the call for action that "Not all students play basketball, football or other sports, we need an after school club for students who don't play them sports." "These students can be part of something to build confidence, belong, and stay out of trouble after school" started an club that is reaping results. Since the conception of the Bath County Middle School After School Archery Club, over 80 youth have became full time members. Over 200 hours of shooting sports instruction have been taught. Club members have raised over $850 for club supplies, t-shirts, and expenses for club competitions. Since 2016, club members have competed in over 15 Archery Shoots were they displayed learned skills, teamwork, and pride. For many of the club participants, it marks their first time ever competing in an athletic event. After club shoots, many have said it made me nervous, focus more, proud of my accomplishments, and cool to meet/see so many other people from across Kentucky. Many parents/supporters travel with their child/family member to cheer and experience the club's efforts. Solely based on this after school club's efforts/accomplishments and Wildcat Archery 4-H Club, Bath County School District approved the KHSAA Sanctioned Sport of Archery, that is offered to Bath County High School Students.
