Apple Valley High School Trap Shooting Club Inc

2016 Class 4A State Champions

The Apple Valley High School Trap Shooting Club was started in the fall of 2011.  Our first season (spring 2012), we had 32 student athletes.  Since then, our team has grown to a consistent number of 50 athletes and up to 15 coaches.  We encourage and accept all levels of shooters to our team.  We accept athletes in grades 6 through 12.  The team competes in the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League under the parent organization named the USA High School Clay Target League.  The League is the fastest growing and safest high school sport in the nation with more than 10,300 athletes competing this past spring in both trap and skeet in Minnesota.

We have adopted the MN State High School Clay Target League’s (MSHSCTL) mission to “Emphasize the positive influence shooting sports can have on an individual’s life by promoting the highest standards of safety, sportsmanship, teamwork and ethical behavior through a virtual shooting league for high schools.”

Our student athletes can learn and demonstrate their skills of shotgun shooting in a game of movement, action, and split-second timing requiring accuracy and skill to repeatedly break a 4.25” clay disc being hurled at 42 mph from a trap house.

Some of our accomplishments include:  2016 Class 4A State Championship along with 5-time consecutive Conference Championships and 5-time consecutive Individual Overall High Gun Seasonal Champion.

Your valued donations help support the team to provide for and directly fund sponsored practice round fees, including ammunition costs.  These donations help reduce overall team fees paid for by the athlete's families, as well as provide funding for the purchase of equipment that allows for off-season and seasonal training that promotes excellence throughout the competition season.
