The West Seattle Sportsmen’s Club Junior Rifle Team provides young shooters with the opportunity to learn and compete in precision air rifle shooting in a safe, structured, and encouraging environment. The program emphasizes firearm safety, proper range etiquette, and fundamental marksmanship skills while introducing athletes to the discipline and focus required for competitive air rifle events. Under the guidance of experienced volunteer coaches, team members train with regulation air rifles and develop techniques in stance, sight alignment, breathing, and trigger control. Shooters of all experience levels are welcome!
Our athletes compete locally, regionally and nationally. Several of our shooters have gone on to compete at the collegiate level and some have even earned scholarships.
Participation is open to those age 10 to 20 years old, but our Coaches have the discretion to decide if your child is ready to take direction and handle firearms safely. This is to ensure the safety of all participants.
To find out more or join, please email info@wssportsmen.org on our contact page or come down when we’re open. Our Juniors program is currently meeting every Tuesday starting at 6:30PM (check the calendar to confirm). Please reach out if you are interested!
Interested in donating? The West Seattle Totems have a team endowment through the USA Midway Foundation. The Team Endowment Program gives our community the ability to support our juniors shooting program. Donations made to the team endowment are typically matched 1:1 (varies month to month) by the Midway Foundation, so this is a great way to stretch your donation a little further!
