My daughter is a 5th grade archer at Harleton Elementary School. This year they went to state, nationals and also qualified for worlds. I would love for this sport to be recognized by the UIL.

I can't believe Archery is not already considered an UIL sport!

Please, recognize that I work just as hard as all of the football players and soccer players and everybody else. Why is my sport any less important?

This would be great for kids in school. I Wish I wasn't graduating this year from high school...

Archery is a full fledged sport, it should been accepted a long time ago. If tis in the Olympics it should be a UIL sport

Unlike many high school sports archery can be enjoyed for a lifetime. It promotes all the same values any other sport does and with NASP and other programs even children from families of limited means can be involved.

I am a proponent of the school system reflecting those that it taxes - and I believe that the vast majority of the state would benefit from a "getting back to the basics", and archery would aid in that goal. It teaches patience, discipline, teamwork, judgment and is a good outdoor activity that would benefit most of the students today

Archery will develop skills in studnets that all sports/activities do: focus, effort, discipline, purpose, and teamwork. Any activity that promotes self worth needs to be supported and encouraged.

What a great way to get kids to build a new skill set, get additional exercise and an extra avenue for college.
