Whereas we practice at the Angels Gun Club facility and thank them for allowing us to do so, we are not part of Angels Gun Club. Team Angels Youth Shooters is a separate entity/501c(3) youth sports program since 2017. Purpose and Design of the CYSSA Program whose shoots we compete at...
The CYSSA Clay Target Program is a team based YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM for school aged youths (grades 12 and u
nder) which uses participation in the shooting sports to provide it's participants with a positive, life enhancing experience and is designed to instill in them a set of personal values or character traits that teaches fair play, individual responsibility, sportsmanship, self-discipline and personal commitment – qualities that will serve them well throughout their lives and will be instrumental in helping each participant reach their full potential. CYSSA team activities are designed to incorporate two indispensable elements - SAFETY and FUN. CYSSA participants, led by trained and dedicated coaches, are taught the safe and responsible handling and use of fi****ms. The learning environment at team practices, and at competitive shoots, is designed to include the element of fun for all participants. Participants discover the joy of contributing to a shared team goal and the commitment that goes along with it. During this self-discovery process, team members develop proficiency in a sport that can be shared and enjoyed with family and friends for a lifetime. Competition is clearly a part of the CYSSA sponsored shooting programs, but it is NOT the main emphasis of the program. The “Win at all Costs” philosophy has no place in this program. Striving to win while playing by the rules does. Participants are encouraged to set goals for improving their skills and contribute to the team. Honoring the game, exhibiting good sportsmanship and being a responsible team member are the primary values the CYSSA wishes to instill in its participants. It is the duty of everyone involved in the CYSSA – Coaches, Parents and Participants to familiarize themselves with the rules in this handbook and to uphold the high moral and ethical standards of personal conduct that participating in the shooting sports requires.
