NASP® coordinators, sponsors and supporters recently met in-person and virtually to discuss and share strategies to improve the 22-year-old program. The highly successful event was co-sponsored by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Coordinators, NASP® staff and sponsors enjoyed the two-day summit with presentations and discussions on all aspects of NASP®. Ideas were shared among all those who do the valuable work in 49 states and beyond. One obvious aspect of the annual conference continues to be the camaraderie and networking among attendees that continues to make this conference a huge benefit for attending jurisdictions as well as NASP®.

NASP® President Tommy Floyd said, “Our 2024 Texas event was simply incredible! So much energy and expertise in one place – all of it related to supporting NASP® archers! We believe that these interactions are how we make NASP® better! It feels like a family reunion of sorts, where folks gather to help students discover the joy of safely becoming an archer! Our coordinators are driven, passionate, and so collaborative to help each other find success in their respective states. Our NASP® sponsors continue to make this conference meaningful for everyone."

The positive relationships that form among this group continues to inspire everyone to find new ways to promote and grow the program. We are very grateful for the opportunity to assemble each year. NASP® continues to reach new students each year in grades 4-12 through in-school archery. More than 23.5 million students have experienced the safety and fun of NASP® since inception in 2002.
