Archery Manitoba’s Indoor MYGOLD Program (Manitoba Youth Games & Olympic Long-term Development) is now open for registration. The program is geared toward recurve and compound target archers of the intermediate to advanced levels. The program will provide the tools and coaching to take archers from the advanced lessons and ‘introduction to the competition’ stages to a level necessary to meet the criteria for Manitoba Games, Canada Games, and our Provincial Team Programs. The coaches leading the program will be Dale Bakker (Recurve), Cleo Wermann-Thorn (Recurve), Kelly Taylor (Compound), and guest coaches. All three lead coaches have extensive experience in provincial high-performance development as coaches or athletes training under provincial and national program coaches for several years.
Overview: The program is based on the material and coaching provided at Archery Canada/Archery Manitoba High Performance ‘Top Camps’ hosted in 2019 and 2020 by National Coaches Shawn Riggs and Duncan Crawford.
Goal: The goal of this program is to provide coaching to developing youth recurve and compound archers via structured and professional programming. The objectives specific to this session are indoor competition development, advanced technical form, high-performance equipment tuning and optimal performance in the Canadian Indoor Regional Championships and 2024 Provincial Indoor Championships.
Focus: Ensure participants have the tools to compete in indoor and outdoor events at increasingly higher levels, with the goal of multi-sport games participation (Manitoba Games, Canada Games, Provincial Team)
