SASP - A national program since 2012
Welcome to the exciting world of action shooting, a sport like no other offering an absolutely “level playing field” across genders and age.
The Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) is the national governing body for the Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP), offering youth from 5th grade through college the opportunity to safely participate in our exciting team-based action shooting sports!
SASP is designed to instill in young people a set of personal values and character traits for fair play, compassionate understanding, individual responsibility, sportsmanship, self-discipline, and personal commitment. As the sport itself, these qualities will stay with them throughout their lifetimes, helping each young athlete reach his or her full potential.
• Youth may participate using:
.22LR Handgun or Centerfire Handgun, and
.22LR Rifles (Iron and Optic sights),
Centerfire 1911,
Pistol Caliber Carbine.
(not all disciplines are available at all matches)
• Targets are steel circle or rectangular plates.
• All courses of fire are timed events.
