Southland Archery Club would like to welcome you the opportunity to take part in the 2020 Corporate Archery event. This fantastic chance would see your team develop their archery skills, improve fitness, compete against a number of local businesses and all while having loads of fun.
Our goal is to provide an occasion for businesses to continue to develop a culture of camaraderie. We have chosen the Team Match Play event, as it relies on the ability of your members to work co-operatively and develop as a team while under time pressure. This event will cater for a range of ability levels.
Leading up to the main event, each team will have the opportunity to train up to six, one hour, coached sessions in the indoor facility of Southland Archery Club. Additional training at your own cost is available from 6pm to 7pm on Tuesday evenings at our facility in the Southland Kennel Club rooms.
Southland Archery Club acknowledges the support given to us by JK’s Engineering as our naming partner of this event.
