LSA provides several opportunities for youth athletes to become involved in the shooting sports. These include Jr. teams for Shotgun, Bullseye Pistol, and Air Pistol, with Archery and Hunting programs. Fishing derbies are held periodically on the LSA grounds for all youth under age 14. We have supportive, trained, and credentialed volunteer coaches who teach life-long skills, such as goal setting, leadership, teamwork, self confidence, and above all else: safety. We encourage youth athletes to create their own goals; whether they just want to come and have fun, learn a new skill, or train for a spot on the US Olympic team – any goal is possible. Many State and National organizations along with Colleges and Universities offer shooting sports scholarships, and many that do not offer scholarships still host recreational shooting teams.

Protecting our youth athletes is ALL of our responsibility, as coaches, volunteers, and parents/guardians.  CORI checks will only be conducted as authorized by the DCJIS and MGL c. 6, §.172, and only after a CORI Acknowledgement Form has been completed.  Lee Sportsmen’s Association is committed to safeguarding all of its members with the welfare of its youth athlete members as top priority.  USA Shooting follows Safe Sport, a comprehensive abuse program that provides tools for Clubs to educate their members and intervene in risky situations.  We fully endorse and support USA Shooting’s Safe Sport and other Safety programs by providing these resources:
