Welcome to WPMS Archery Competition Team
-
WPMS archery team is a competition team made up of 24-28 students in grades 6, 7, and 8 who try out in early September each year. Students are chosen out of 3 categories: ability, coachability, and attitude. Our team members are scholar-athletes who are required to maintain their academics and behavior to participate. The team relies on sponsors and fundraisers to operate. We are always willing to accept any sponsorship. If you have questions or are interested in sponsoring, please contact Mrs. Matyas at wmatyas@horrycountyschools.net. For more information, please click on the slide show.
