Varsity Rifle Team
Founded in 2024, the Varsity Rifle Team is Merit Academy's competitive shooting team. Students compete in Three Position Sporter Air Rifle (3PAR): Prone, Kneeling and Standing. Their goal being individual or team awards, and possible college scholarships. The program not only teaches gun and range safety, but also life skills that build responsible and accountable future leaders and citizens.
We are sponsored by American Legion Post 1980 and an affiliated club with the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
The Varsity Rifle Team meets twice a week, with competitions generally held on practice days and weekends. Occasionally, travel to other locations for regional and national competitions is required.
The Varsity Rifle Team is currently open to new registration.
