The next opportunity for PYD staff and approved volunteers to become a Wisconsin 4-H Shooting Sports Certified Instructor, or add an additional discipline certification, will be held on Saturday, September 19, at the Central Wisconsin Sportsmen’s Club in Marshfield, from 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Come spend the day learning from extremely knowledgeable state-level instructors, many of whom are Level 2 National 4-H Certified Instructors, with decades of combined experience to share! Becoming a qualified instructor does not mean you need extensive experience or background knowledge. This training will prepare participants to help lead or support an existing Shooting Sports program. Only one discipline may be completed per workshop.
Disciplines Offered
- Archery
- Coordinator
- Muzzleloader
- Pistol/Air Pistol
- Rifle/Air Rifle
- Shotgun
*This is the only workshop of the year that offers Coordinator Training, an in-depth opportunity to learn the management and leadership side of 4-H Shooting Sports. This training is a great fit for 4-H educators or volunteers who want to expand their understanding of managing Shooting Sports, as well as counties looking to start, strengthen, or grow their programs. Coordinators help ensure safe, well-organized, and effective programming across disciplines while supporting volunteers, managing risk and resources, planning events, and creating meaningful opportunities for youth to develop skills and life skills through shooting sports.
