ACUI and SCTP are proud to announce a partnership for the 2022–23 collegiate shooting sports season. This endeavor will allow the two organizations to enhance their respective programs. 

“For over 50 years, ACUI has offered a collegiate competitive program focused on the growth and development of college students” said John Taylor, ACUI Chief Executive Officer. “All of us at ACUI have seen the positive impact of the clay target shooting sports on individual students, their personal growth and maturity. We are excited to be strengthening and expanding our program through a new partnership with SCTP.”

Through this partnership:

• ACUI will use SCTP’s robust scoring and registration for all competitions. 
   
• SCTP will provide liability insurance for all collegiate athletes and coaches participating in ACUI or SCTP events.  
   
• Both organizations will expand their scholarship offerings. 

“I think this is a very good move for ACUI as well as SCTP,” said SCTP National Director Tom Wondrash. “Utilizing our SHOT system for scoring and registration will make all ACUI/SCTP College events run quickly and smoothly. We couldn’t be happier to partner with ACUI and look forward to a strong and long-lasting relationship with them!”

In the future, ACUI and SCTP plan to enhance SCTP’s coach training program with additional youth leadership education. Our intent is to offer the best College shooting experience possible for our athletes!
