About Us

The 17 South youth clay-shooting team is proud to be part of the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP), which offers student-athletes from middle school through college a dynamic platform to grow. We use the discipline of clay-target sports—trap, skeet and sporting clays—as a springboard to teach responsibility, teamwork, respect and positive citizenship. As members of our team, young athletes develop their shooting skills and character in an all-inclusive, co-ed environment where there are no bench-warmers. With certified coaches and vetted adult volunteers, we encourage ethical conduct and sportsmanship from all participants, families and supporters. Season practices begin in February and run through June, with opportunities to compete in club-sponsored matches and beyond at the SCTP national championships.
