Archery is a great sport for building focus, structure, and self-paced learning, but for neurodivergent individuals, things like sensory overload or communication barriers can sometimes make it more challenging.

Archery GB has introduced a series of six new classification videos, providing clear and accessible guidance on the disability classification process.

Archery GB, in partnership with The Liverpool Centre for Olympic Research on Inclusion (LCORI) (part of Liverpool John Moore’s University) and Access Sport, have launched a new study to understand the impact and value of neurodiversity inclusion within the archery community.

Together, we can ensure a fair and inclusive future for the sport.

"The Level 2 weekend was an enabling and motivational weekend that created lots of discussion and innovative thought."

The recent webinar exploring how archery clubs can engage with Help for Heroes veterans was a resounding success, with over 70 attendees.

Archery is more than just pulling back a string and letting an arrow fly. It's about community and a shared love for the sport. In 2025, we challenge you to give back and support the archery community by volunteering your time and skills.

The Rules of Shooting and Shooting Administrative Procedures have been updated and are effective immediately.

"We hope this will inspire other clubs to get involved, host their own inclusion events, and help transform the Deer Park Inclusion Series into a national initiative - creating more opportunities for archers with disabilities to participate and enjoy the sport."

"So far, it's been very popular with the junior members, they like the fact we're trying to help them enjoy their archery and understand they may have different needs to others."

"Even as a disabled person myself, I have finished the course and feel more aware and even more knowledgeable about how to make our club accessible."

"The archers I worked with were very pleased with the coaching and had a lot to work on. The instant improvement they saw from very small adjustments was remarkable."

Through easyfundraising, 8,500 retailers including Amazon, eBay, Just Eat, Nike, John Lewis, Sainsbury’s, JD Sports, M&S, Tesco, Argos, and Booking.com, will give your archery club money when your community shop with them.  

"We encourage our clubs to take advantage of this opportunity, which can help them become more inclusive and welcoming to neurodivergent athletes."

Veterans often seek new skills and community involvement, and archery is a sport that provides both.
