Is my child ready for beginner archery?

While the minimum age for our beginner course is 10, archery is a skill-based activity that requires strength, coordination, and focus. Not all 10-year-olds are physically or developmentally ready - and that’s completely normal.


Before registering, we encourage parents to consider whether their child can:


  • Safely pull and control moderate resistance (like a strong resistance band)   

  • Hold a steady position for 5–10 seconds while concentrating on a task   

  • Follow and repeat multi-step instructions and wait patiently for the coach's advice 

  • Maintain focus in a structured group environment (45–60 minutes)   

  • Respond appropriately to safety instructions every time


If your child is still developing in these areas, we recommend waiting a little longer. Starting archery when they are ready leads to a more enjoyable and successful experience.


If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to advise.



Our course coordinator will be in touch with further information and to confirm your registration.
