The UCSD Archery Team, housed inside Sun God Archery at UCSD, is the only group of archers allowed to represent UC San Diego at any archery tournaments. The Team was founded the same year as the club and competed at the 2014 California State Indoor Championships as their first tournament. The majority of the team members have never shot before they started attending UC San Diego, but many end up as collegiate regional and national champions before they graduate.
The following are the requirements to be eligible to join the UC San Diego Archery Team and compete representing UC San Diego.
Be enrolled as a full time UC San Diego student (undergraduate or graduate), in good standing.
Meet the minimum GPA requirements (2.0 for undergrad, 3.0 for grad).
Sign the Team Contract.
Purchase a Team Jersey.
Attend the UCSD Archery Team Practices (Sundays 12:30pm-2:30pm) every week.
The UCSD Archery Team follows the collegiate season of four (4) main collegiate tournaments per year.
SoCal Indoor Archery Collegiate Championship (SIACC)
U.S. Indoor Nationals
West Region Outdoor Collegiate Championships (WROCC)
National Outdoor Collegiate Championships (NOCC)
While there are many other tournaments that our team members attend individually (AZ Cup, Gator Cup, CA State Outdoor, SoCal Showdown, US Target Nationals, Texas Shootout, etc), those four tournaments are the main events our team captains organize and bring the team to.
Three of the four tournaments involve Team Rounds and/or Mixed Teams along with overall team awards that make archery a team sport and help create not only a team spirit within our team, but the entire collegiate community.
The UCSD Archery Team hosts team specific events in order to promote team unity and help develop a strong, positive team culture. Team events are open to all current UCSD Archery Team members who have fulfilled the requirements listed above.
Team Events can vary from team dinners to game nights and volunteer opportunities that support the San Diego and the archery communities around us!
As individuals, our team members have won a numerous number of awards (full list and details on the awards page), but collegiate archery is truly about having a team experience in an individual sport. Our team, though still young and rapidly growing has earned titles at a conference, regional, and national level.
