The Missouri National Archery in the Schools Program helps build stronger, more confident and accomplished kids. It's modeled on the National Archery in the Schools Program, which began with a simple idea—teach kids the basics of archery as a part of school curriculum. Since NASP's beginnings in 2002, millions of kids across the nation have participated in the program.

How MoNASP Works
Missouri National Archery in the Schools Program supports international-style target archery in 4th- through 12th-grade physical education classes during the school day.
Educators often need help including new activities in their budgets. That’s why MoNASP (via the Department of Conservation and the Conservation Federation of Missouri) offers a $1500 rebate opportunity for equipment purchases. Basic Archery Instructor training is required for schools to participate in MoNASP and to qualify for related rebates.
