DVAnts

DVAnts is DVA’s flagship youth coaching program that introduces and nurtures young archers in the sport. With a focus on proper technique, safety, and progressive learning, DVAnts builds a strong foundation whether your child is new to archery or ready for their next challenge.

• Weekly Indoor Sessions: Held in DVA’s premier indoor range—perfect lighting, weatherproof, and focused 

• Structured Skill Progression: Guided by accredited coaches with a clear development path 

• Pathway to Competition: Archers are supported to join club leagues, tournaments, and state-level events 

• Focus on Safety & Etiquette: Young archers learn correct form and respectful range behaviour 

• Supportive Environment: Encouragement and mentorship from experienced coaches and peers 

Named for both the spirit of teamwork and growth (and a play on our club’s kangaroo-rich grounds), DVAnts represents the beginning of a young archer’s journey. From small steps to big achievements, DVAnts helps kids move from learning to leading.

• Be a Junior DVA member (aged 8–17).
