The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries will hold three National Archery in Schools Program (NASP) basic archery instructor courses Nov. 5, Nov. 10 and Nov. 12. The courses will be held in New Iberia (Nov. 5), Oak Grove (Nov. 10) and Elmer (Nov. 12).
 
All three courses will run from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.  The courses are as follows:
 
Nov. 5 at Belle Place Middle School in New Iberia;
 
Nov. 10 at West Carroll Parish Media Center in Oak Grove;
 
Nov. 12 at Oak Hill Elementary in Elmer.
 
This eight-hour course will provide certification to educators who want to bring the NASP/Archery in Louisiana Schools (ALAS) curriculum to their schools. The NASP/ALAS program introduces students in grades 3-12 to international target style archery as part of their in-school curriculum and is available to all schools in Louisiana.  All professional educators are welcome to attend. 
 
All training materials and equipment is provided and there is no cost for the course for professional educators. There are a limited number of spots available in each course and they will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.  You may register for the class online at http://naspbai.org/ClassSearch.aspx?country=US&state=LA
