From September 11-13, the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) hosted their first ever Advisor Academy. Thirty-one key leaders from 14 states attended the meeting that focused on developing state and local level leadership, sharing best practices, and providing “grass roots” input to the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and the Scholastic Pistol Program (SPP). “Volunteer coaches in the Scholastic Clay Target Program and Scholastic Pistol Program are the heart and soul of our organization,” said Ben Berka, President and Executive Director of the SSSF. “Advisor Academy is a great opportunity to grow and develop our state leaders who support coaches on a day-to-day basis and provide input from states back to our national leadership team.” On Saturday, a special presentation was given by Larry Potterfield, emphasizing the importance of the relationship between the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation and the Midway USA Foundation to continue to grow and strengthen the shooting sports. The Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to Larry and Brenda Potterfield and the Midway USA Foundation staff for hosting this first annual event and for their ongoing support of the SSSF and its programs.
