Trapshooting is a great sport to introduce youth to firearm safety and shotgunning.  Tampa Bay Clays, the youth trap shooting program at the Silver Dollar Shooting Club (American Trap) and Tampa Bay Sporting Clays (International Trap), offer several ways for youth to enjoy the experience of shotgun sports.  Our youngsters have the opportunity to choose whether to shoot recreationally or competitively through a number of different shooting programs such as SCTP, ATA, and USA Shooting.

Our shooters practice year round and participate in the event shooting season which typically runs from September to March competing individually and as a team.  We are fortunate to be associated with the Silver Dollar and Tampa Bay Sporting Clays in part because they each sponsor world class shooting events.

New shooters in our program begin in our instructional orientation program (Give It A Shot!).  The youth receive instruction with a certified volunteer coach.  Our coaches group shooters into practice squads based on experience and shooting level so the shooter will feel comfortable as he or she progresses.
