USAYESS is a non-profit organization and the nation’s premier and only all-inclusive youth program which introduces, grows, supports, and educates youth, and their families to firearm safety, shooting sports, and wildlife conservation and habitat.

USA YOUTH EDUCATION in SHOOTING SPORTS (USAYESS) exists to develop, grow, and support state foundations and associations that use hands-on events, shooting sports, wildlife habitat, and conservation programs and introduce and educate youth and their families about safe firearm handling, shooting sports, and outdoor conservation and other outdoor activities.

USA Youth Education in Shooting Sports is dedicated to educating youth about outdoor activities primarily through partnerships with Key Conservation Groups as well as local, state, regional, and national competitive youth shooting organizations. Establishing state governance allows each state to grow and adjust its program as they see fit. Our data has shown that boots on the ground do a much better job in implementing and growing their program.

All USAYESS tournaments are open to all youth teams and individual athletes belonging to any youth organization that has a competitive shooting program; AIM, 4-H, FFA, High School Rodeo Trap Program, P.I.T.A. YES, SCTP, YTF, High School Leagues, etc…ALL are welcome. No prior tournament qualification.
