College Teams?

Post by B.p.M »

So it seems like the NRA has gotten rid of their collegiate shooting page. The links point to somthing that does not exist, probably because it has not been paid attention to since 1996.

The CMP has a nice webpage with NCAA teams, but we all know that the majority of the teams are club sports. Out of simple frustration, I've created a list. It's not comprehensive, but it has links to school team pages and to their facebook groups.

Would appreciate any help with updating it from all of you! Just post any additions or links in this thread, and I'll update the spreadsheet.

Just FYI to all the team coaches & members, yall need to have a webpage and a facebook page. Flying under the radar means you basically don't exist to the vast majority of individuals that are not at your school. Make one of the students be the social media coordinator and post from time to time.

NRA's link worked for me:
[url]https://competitions.nra.org/competitio ... pionships/[/url]

Their SSUSA mag. had a write-up on the recent NCAA Championships as well:

Your list is a good resource too. Thanks for the work you did on that!

Bob, thanks.

If you go to the NRA webpage and click on the link to Collegiate Shooting Sports Directory it goes nowhere. The link to USA Shooting goes to a 404 page.

I'm trying to point some local coaches and parents (with far less knowledge and experience than I have) and finding that simple things like a list of schools, does not seem to exist any more.

Moderator edit- this thread now shows up in both the Youth forum and the Collegiate forum. It is the same thread, and all replies will be instantly visible in both forums. Thank you B.p.M, good stuff!

NCAAs this year were really great. Amazing shooting.
Air rifle final was pretty exciting.

Just as nice the Intercollegiate championships have been picked up by ASSA after NRA has dropped the ball on youth shooting. https://www.americansmallbore.com/inter ... -2025.html
(And I say that sadly as a Life member)

I've coached shooters who have competed in both the NCAAs and Intercollegiates. Great shooting from our youth shooters!

The list says “Rifle Teams” but the original post simply says “collegiate teams”.
If you are including pistol, you might enquire with University of S. Carolina in Columbia, SC.
They have (had?) a pistol team for a while. I know because they showed up at 2700 matches at Mid Carolina Rifle & Pistol Club for a number of times.

To broaden it a bit, all 3 Olympic disciplines have (different) collegiate programs.
Hopefully some more experts here can add to this as there is not a single source elsewhere.

Looks like SCTP and ACUI are now working together on Shotgun.

My search also brought up NCSSAA for Shotgun. I don’t know anything about them and it doesn’t look recently updated.

SASP (part of SSSF) runs collegiate Pistol now, with James Hall directly involved.

CMP also has a list of college Rifle teams here:

ASSA runs the Rifle Club (non-NCAA) Championships

There is a tab on the spreadsheet. Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun.
