Fargo, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The North Dakota State High School Clay Target League (NDSHSCTL) is proud to announce that 1,020 student athletes are scheduled to participate in the 2018 NDSHSCTL State Tournament presented by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, June 16th and 17th at The Shooting Park in Horace, ND.
Student athletes representing 46 North Dakota high school teams will compete for individual and team achievements at the tournament, which is held each year following the completion of the League’s spring season.
“The League continues to be the fastest-growing activity in North Dakota schools,” said Jim Sable, President of the NDSHSCTL, “Just a couple years ago we had just a handful of students at the State Tournament, now we’re over one thousand. It’s very exciting to see North Dakota embrace the High School Clay Target League as it has.”
Generous supporters for the State Tournament include: Cabela’s Outdoor Fund, SCHEELS, HybridLight, Runnings, Sportsman’s Guide, and Walker’s.
This year more than 1,400 student athletes representing 49 high school teams participated in the 2018 North Dakota spring season. They were coached and supported by over 300 volunteers.
The North Dakota State High School Clay Target League is an affiliate of the USA High School Clay Target League, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The League is an independent provider of shooting sports as an extracurricular co-ed and adaptive activity for high schools and students in grades 6 through 12. The organization’s priorities are safety, fun, and marksmanship – in that order. Each student is required to pass a comprehensive firearm safety education course prior to participation.
Nationwide, over 26,000 student athletes representing over 800 school-approved teams participated in the League during the 2017-18 school year.
