# Leicester Archery Academy
Leicester Archery Academy is a registered Archery GB OnTarget Community Club offering accessible archery instruction and facilities to the Leicester LE5 6HP community. The club welcomes participants of all genders, abilities and disabilities, positioning itself as an inclusive space where both complete beginners and experienced archers can develop their skills.
The academy provides structured coaching and beginner courses alongside regular club shooting sessions. Their programme emphasises archery's dual benefits: physical development including muscle endurance, flexibility, hand-eye coordination and body strength, alongside mental wellbeing through focus, resilience and stress relief.
What distinguishes Leicester Archery Academy is their formal commitment to safeguarding and inclusivity. As a Community Club, they've embedded welfare procedures throughout their operations, with a dedicated Club Welfare Officer and explicit encouragement for members to raise concerns. This structured approach to duty of care reflects their serious commitment to providing a safe, welcoming environment rather than casual recreational archery.
The club demonstrates active community engagement through special events like the Big Archery Weekend and regular outdoor shoots, fostering a vibrant member community. Their experienced coaching staff, including Coach Arif Takey, brings considerable expertise to instruction. The academy's emphasis on consistent, welcoming treatment of new members—acknowledging the importance of retention in community sports—suggests a thoughtfully managed club culture.
