USCA is hosting its annual Athlete and Leadership Workshop for athletes and coaches at CSULB from November 19-20 (Saturday-Sunday), 2011. For clubs travelling more than 100 miles, USCA will subsidize the costs for gas for 1 vehicle and up to 2 hotel rooms. Club presidents need to email Stella@uscollegiatearchery.org PRIOR TO TUESDAY NOV 8 and give her the number of rooms they need and if they will arrive on Friday or Saturday in order to get travel monies for this event.
 
Registration will close on Friday, November 18.  The cost is $20 for USCA members.
 
Bring your own equipment.  If you don't currently own equipment, we will have some bows on hand for you.  Archers will receive a stretch band at the event.
