Re:           2022 Roncalli Catholic High School Trapshooting Club Information

Benefits of the shooting sports:

1. Safety with firearms begins with learning the rules and acquiring the skills to apply them in a responsible and conscientious manner.
2. The shooting sports help to enforce discipline and respect.
3. Trapshooting format provides a level playing field for team members and provides equal opportunity for all students, regardless of background and experience.

Participation Eligibility:

Any full time student may participate in the Roncalli Catholic High School Trapshooting Club.  Roncalli Catholic High School administrators reserve the right to deny individual participation of student club members &/or adult mentors. You may participate if you are enrolled in a school that does not offer trapshooting and proof of enrollment will be needed. Mentors will serve the roll as “coaches” and will coordinate practice sessions, participation in Eastern Cornhusker Trapshooting Conference sanctioned shoots, and participation in State matches.
