The National Junior Olympic program provides competitions year-round for shooters to partake in. The program runs matches throughout the country, making it accessible for all interested juniors. Junior shooters are able to participate in State Competitions sanctioned by USA Shooting, allowing them the chance to receive an invitation to shoot at the National Junior Olympic Championships hosted by USA Shooting in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The program serves as an important element of our pipeline development system in promoting the shooting sports. Junior Olympic goals are to allow the skilled junior athletes to obtain National competitive experience for future development. The program also serves as an opportunity to appoint the top finishers to the National Junior Team.  (USA Shooting)

The 2016 Rhode Island Junior Olympics was held at the US Coast Guard Academy.  This was a great opportunity for Rhode Island juniors to shoot on electronic targets, something not available at a Rhode Island facility.  We would like to thank the US Coast Guard Academy and CT State Rifle & Revolver Association for their support and assistance in holding the Rhode Island Junior Olympics at the US Coast Guard Academy.
