Mark your calendars now!
The 2014 4-H Shooting Sports State Games will be the
qualifying event to determine 2015 Texas Teams.
In order to give participants and families as much time as
possible to plan and prepare, Texas 4-H Natural Resources Program would like to
announce significant changes to the process by which the 2015 4-H
Shooting Sports Texas Teams will be selected to attend that
year’s National Shooting Sports Invitational. In order to align with the
Texas 4-H & Youth Development Program’s selection processes for all other
National 4-H Competitions, Shooting Sports will be retiring its application
process in favor of a qualifying event.
The senior age State Games participants with the top four
total scores in the set of 3 events that make up each of the disciplines at the
National Invitational will qualify for the Texas Teams. Details are being
finalized and will be announced on the blog, facebook page, and website, and
emailed to all County Extension Offices and District 4-H specialists as soon as
they have been completed.
Basic eligibility requirements/rules for Texas Team
qualification will include:
- Participant must be a minimum of 14 years of age by September 1 of the 4-H year of the qualifying State Games, be an actively enrolled member of 4-H via 4-H Connect for the current 4-H year, AND be eligible for enrollment for a minimum of one future 4-H Year. National Invitational occurs in the 4-H year following the qualifying State Games. Participants must be eligible for 4-H membership in both years.
- Participants may only participate in one National Invitational discipline per year.
- Participants may attend National Invitational multiple years, but may not repeat any discipline.
