AIMS/Basic Archery Instructor (BAI) Certification
*****The MSNASP® Certified Basic Archery Instructor (BAI) training season runs from May through December (See Instructor information at bottom of page).
MSNASP® Bullseye In-school lessons must be taught by a MSNASP® certified Basic Archery Instructor (BAI) (for a minimum of 10 hours) during the school year, as a part of the in-school curriculum. Lessons taught outside of the normal school day or not in a class do not count as in school lessons and are considered after-school Sports or Activities. In addition to strengthening our perfect safety record, the MSNASP® in school requirement encourages schools to become a part of MSNASP®, enabling the safe introduction of archery for a greater number of students. The most common current delivery of the in-school MSNASP® lessons are provided in physical education classes; however, this is a local decision regarding where the lessons are provided. In-school lessons should include students that are not part of a secondary after-school program. In most cases the number of students attending in-school lessons would be greater than the numbers for the after-school group. Annual online reporting of in-school instructional hours and the number of students involved is mandatory for each MSNASP® school. Reporting is to be completed by the in school BAI instructor(s) that presented/taught the in-school lessons at each MSNASP® school and is required to maintain an active BAI certification and is required for that schools’ eligibility for Post Season play (The AIMS MSNASP®️ BULLSEYE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES, MSNASP®️ 3D Tournaments and the NASP®️ Nationals).
This eight-hour training program equips P.E. teachers and school personnel with the skills needed to become MSNASP®️ certified Basic Archery Instructors.

- Candidates must be at least 18 years old.
- Candidates must be school faculty or designated para-professional.
