It
is great to learn of the formation of the Missouri Youth Sport
Shooting Alliance (MYSSA). USA Shooting wholeheartedly supports
the MYSSA effort to be an umbrella organization, providing support
for, and fostering communication between, established shooting
programs that will provide additional shooting and training opportunities
to the youth and coaches of Missouri. USA Shooting relies on partner
organizations like the MYSSA for the development of coaches and
young athletes, some of whom will progress into our programs and
ultimately represent the United States in International and Olympic
competition.

At
last, an organization that will be able to provide support to all
the different needs of youth involved in the shooting sports. The
Missouri Youth Sport Shooting Alliance is right on track with its
goal of assisting not only the youth participants, but the volunteer
adult leaders with training, equipment and programs. Youth are our
future, we salute your efforts.
