Introducing Jason Anderson, SCTP’s Newest Regional Field Representative

Written on .

1579Jason Anderson was brought on in January as the SCTP’s newest Regional Field Representative and covers the “Lower Midwest” area that includes Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.

Anderson is in his seventeenth year as a public educator in the great state of Texas and in his eighth year at Allen High School in Allen Texas. He is the Head Coach of the two-time SCTP High School National Champions Allen Eagles Competitive Shooting Team, the Allen Archery Team, and the Bass Fishing Team. At Allen ISD he also developed the Outdoor Adventures Program, which is in its sixth year.

Allen Eagles Assistant head coach Richard Scott commented, “Winning is great, but Jason does so much more for these kids than a school teacher is required to do.

Anderson graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Sports Science and a Minor in Health. He was honored by the Dallas Ecological Foundation as Educator of the Year in 2014. In 2015 he became an NRA training counselor, and he is also an NRA Coach Level 2. Anderson has served as Texas’ State Advisor to the Scholastic Clay Target Program for the past three years.

“I am honored and excited to continue to promote and support SCTP teams,” Anderson stated. “Supporting the SCTP coaches is key in our success.”

According to Carlton Nether, director of development for the Western U.S., “Jason brings a wealth of knowledge to our team. His dedication to youth sports in Texas is exactly what we need to continue our strong growth in the southern states.”

New for 2017 SCTP State & Nationals Competition! SCTP “All State Team”

Written on .

Attention all coaches, athletes and parents!

New for the 2017 shooting season will be the SCTP “All State Team”. This team will be comprised of athletes finishing in the top five positions at their respective state shoots in trap, skeet and sporting clays, male and female athletes combined and regardless of their team affiliation!

Those top five athletes (in each discipline) attending the SCTP National Championships being held in Marengo, Ohio, July 8-15, 2017, will have their scores count toward their “All State Team” score for that discipline. They will not shoot independantly of their team and squad, however, we will just use the scores shot at nationals for their “All State Team” score. Any ties will be shot off as a squad.

Special prizes will be issued for the top three states (athletes) by order of finish and will be presented at the awards ceremonies at the tournament. These will all be five-person squads.

If an athlete that finishes in the top five (at their state shoot) does not attend the national championships, we will then take the next competitor in line that will be attending nationals in July! That could be a 6th place state finisher, 7th place or so on down the line.

We will have more criteria posted on our website soon in the red tool bar under “SCTP” and then go to the “forms and handbook” section. If you have any other questions about this great opportunity for our athlete’s, please contact the directors of development, Chet Tuinstra or Carlton Nether, or contact National Director Tom Wondrash.
