Did you know that USC’s Physical Education department offers an official archery class? Open to all students, PHED-148: Archery is a one-unit course taught by renowned archery coaches, Eric Tollefson (USA Archery L5-NTS Coach) and Laurence Mo (USA Archery L4-NTS Coach), and developed by Daniel Kwasniewski (USA Archery L4-NTS Coach).

This is an introductory course to help teach each student the fundamental skills of archery. No prior experience is required, but if you want to keep developing your shooting skills, all students are welcome to enroll. Classes will focus on developing a basic understanding of the following skills: basic technique, types of archery, scoring, rules, practice drills, exercise, and equipment.

Due to the popularity of this course, USC offers two options on Friday mornings and afternoons. Please check the USC course catalogue for the latest updates and to register.
