Archery Manitoba is proud to announce the relaunch of its MYGOLD Program (Manitoba Youth Games & Olympic Long-term Development) geared toward recurve and compound target archers of the intermediate to advance levels. The program will provide the tools and coaching to take archers from the advanced lessons and the ‘introduction to the competition stage to the 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 mandate is to provide a platform to re-implement material and coaching based on the 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 outdoor competition development, meeting Team Manitoba Criteria, and preparing for Outdoor Provincials.
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)
