From the Director
Greetings to all athletes, parents, coaches, and supporters from across the state! On behalf of Tennessee Wildlife Federation, I am excited to welcome you to the 2022 Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program State Championships.
It is great to see how the Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program has grown this year and athletes, coaches, and teams back on the field at full strength again.
We are pleased to say that our team has also been growing. This year, we welcomed a new Program Manager for Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program, Ashley Tone, as well as a new Program Coordinator, Amy Hall. With these new additions, we have been able to increase our support for coaches and continue prioritizing the experience for our participants and their families.
We are also excited to offer Super Sporting to the competition this year, alongside doubles skeet, doubles trap, and extended yard line trap. You can expect to see several new vendors and food trucks at the Nashville Gun Club this year.
These upgrades were made based on the feedback you provided last year through the participation surveys and focus groups. We want to continue to serve your interests and needs so if you haven’t yet already, please take a moment to fill out those surveys.
Thank you for all the time, effort, and resources you give to the shooting sports and supporting our young athletes.
Good luck to all of our competitors!

From the Manager
Our team is excited to see all our athletes, parents, coaches, and supporters at this year’s 2022 Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program State Championships. Amy, Maggie, and myself have had the pleasure of meeting many coaches this year, but we are looking forward to meeting many more of our participants at the Nashville Gun Club!
As a former Tennessee Scholastic Clay Target Program athlete, I remember the excitement—and yes, nerves—surrounding the State Championships. It is a joy to bring this event to life now as Program Manager. It is all the more rewarding knowing what an impact shooting sports have on conservation in our state.
Thank you to all of our coaches, parents, partners, and athletes for all you do to make our program what it is.
See you out on the field!

Manager of Tennessee SCTP
