The recruiting program is designed
to give interested students an inside look at the Stanford
Archery Program while at the same time training them for potential
competition and preparing them for the intense coaching and
organizational work that comes along with membership to the
team.
Operating the Stanford Archery Program--which combines a nationally-ranked
competitive squad, expansive community programs and a large
on-campus recreational club--requires an enormous effort from
many people. To ensure long-term success of the program, the
recruiting and team selection process places heavy
emphasis on one's interest, passion, and desire to significantly
support the Archery Program. Team members are expected not
only to attend regular team practices but also to serve as
coaches for campus and community programs. We also encourage
active participation and leadership in the program's various
operational efforts, including fundraising, equipment management,
schedule coordination, advertising, etc. The recruiting process
will provide the skills needed to serve these roles and allow
you to demonstrate your energy and excitement for joining.
Unlike many other teams on campus, Stanford Archery considers
prior experience and athletic skill far less than it does
the above factors. Fielding a Top 3 team at nationals certainly
requires talented shooters, but we see it as our job to improve
your skill, and your job to provide the energy and effort
to help us get you there. When selecting new team members
we look for those who make every effort to improve their skills
by attending practice as often as they can (regardless of
the actual scores they're shooting) and those who volunteer
and contribute to the program's greater success. |

| There are a few key things we look
for in new recruits: |
| |
|
| Energy, passion, excitement |
Being a member of Stanford's archery team is
both an honor and a ton of fun. If you join the team you'll
have dozens of new friends who you'll spend a lot of time
with (possibly even more than you'd like). We want people
as excited and energetic as we are to join this group. Your
energy will most definitely be recognized and appreciated. |
| |
|
| Hard workers and eager volunteers |
The Stanford Archery Program doesn't run itself.
It takes a heck of a lot of work to keep the program going
and we expect you to be an eager participant in this effort.
The work we do isn't always glamorous and it can certainly
be overwhelming, so we want people who can stick it out and
make this the best collegiate program in the nation. |
| |
|
| Dedicated competitors |
We don't place a strong emphasis on athletic
skill when selecting our recruits, but we do expect them to
do everything in their power to improve their abilities and
increase their scores. To that end, we're looking for people
who will practice whenever they can, learn the ins and outs
of archery form through books and videos on their own, and
take advantage of the incredible resources available through
the Stanford program. |

The actual recruiting process consists
of 10 steps, outlined on the following page. The time commitment
is significant but the rewards are too. Those who decide to
enter the recruiting program should expect the time and energy
commitment to be roughly equivalent to that of an a capella
group, a theater production like Gaieties, or other club sports
like the frisbee team or the rugby team.
That said, check out the detailed
overview of the recruiting process. |
