Target Archery in South Africa
The South African National Archery Association (SANAA) is the national sports federation for target archery in South Africa. It is affiliated to a number of sporting bodies, including the international governing body FITA, SASCOC, the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee, and Archery South Africa.
The SANAA committee consists of Executive members and Representatives from the Provincial bodies. Through the national federation, our archers participate internationally. SANAA presents target events on a national level and indoor events on a provincial level. A wide variety of disciplines and equipment styles are catered for during National Championships.
Getting Started
If you want to take up archery, your first port of call should be your local club, where you will find experienced archers willing and able to help. There are SANAA affiliated clubs in all the provinces. You don’t need any equipment, as it will be supplied by the club. Try different sizes of bows and arrows and shooting different distances. Archers are always ready to share an opinion or some experience on what one may need. Once you have joined a club, you are invited to SANAA membership.
Do you have Audit or Accounting Skills?
The South Africa National Archery Association requires the services of an Accountant / Bookkeeper to assist with the preparation of the Associations books to trial balance for preparation for the auditors. The job entails working together with the Treasurer who takes responsibility for the financial affairs for SANAA. If you are able to volunteer your services and in so doing contribute to the growth of the sport, please contact the secretary or call 0829014900
