2021 SCTP Nationals Information
Hello everyone!
We welcome all of you back for another great season of outside activities in the clay target shooting world! This past year has been one for the books but it has also given us time to think and regroup, allowing some changes that we feel will be best for everybody especially considering the growth we are seeing and involvement at the National Championships!
Please read through all of the information below. Due to certain possible restrictions and gathering of large crowds and anything else that may be in place, we feel that many of these items will be for the best. We ask that you all bear with us while we work to put on the best possible National Championship that we can for you!
1.) “Pre-Registration” for Nationals – National Championship pre-registration will open on May 7th and all information must be postmarked no later than May 17th. Pre-Registration is available for Trap Singles, Sporting Clays and Skeet ONLY! Please do not send information to us for any other disciplines. All other disciplines will be open for squading on June 1st. Pre Registration materials are available on our website at www.mysctp.com

Coaches, when registering your athletes for the International Disciplines, please do NOT squad them for any other shooting activities those days. True to the International disciplines, squads are chosen at random and squad times and flights will vary depending on total number of participants!

11.) New College Nationals Dates for the 2021/2022 season – Dates for the College Nationals will be October 7-10, 2021.

Per many of your requests, the International Disciplines will both be offered in a larger format. Based on the interest, the International Disciplines may start a day or 2 earlier than the posted date.

We will do a follow up email to all attending teams about the 3rd week of June, please watch for that.
Many of our teams have taken advantage of the Federal Ammunition deal and the Winchester Ammunition offer. Most if not all these orders have been processed and most/all are set for delivery to the teams. Please be on the watch for them and again, please reach out and thank these companies for their support of our teams!
Thank you!
