New team members and their families are required to attend a pre-season meeting to go over expectations, paperwork, and questions prior to starting of practice. We can often provide assistance with partial or full scholarships to cover registration, safety gear, and ammo costs. Costs are estimated to be $200 per season, but some equipment will be used multiple times. The team also has several shotguns available for new shooters to try or borrow if they don't own one.

There are 2 separate seasons each year, Spring & Fall, each lasting roughly 8 weeks. During the season each team member is expected to attend a minimum of 1 time per week and be at the range of about 90 minutes. More practice time is encouraged. High school students may be recognized with Varsity Letters in each season if they meet the criteria.

The 2025 Fall season registration is open!
Returning shooters should have received an email from USA Clay Target League and will need to register by noon on August 29th. Or use the following link and select on the Athlete Management System to log in, https://www.claytargetscoring.com/, the team ID is rie444.
New shooters will receive an email notification from USA Clay Target League as I receive registration notification from the schools.
New shooters will need to create a profile using the following link: https://www.claytargetgo.com/. The team ID is rie444.
New shooters must have successfully completed Hunter Safety and a field day prior to registration.
Additionally, you will need to attend new shooter orientation, scheduled for Wednesday, August 27th at 6:00 pm at the Rio Sportsman’s Club (W5950 Gorman Rd, Rio), which will go over school and league rules, basic understanding of how trap shooting works, and any questions.
Actions for ALL shooters:
1. Pick your preferred night to shoot and shooting time. Coaches will be available at the club on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Shooting times are 5:30, 6:00, or 6:30 start times. This is due back to me via email or text by Friday, August 29th.
2. Pay your clay fees ($50). This is separate from the USA Clay League registration and is to cover costs for the clay targets you shoot at the Club. Remember, clay fee payments should be made out to Rio Schools (write Trap Team on the memo line with your student’s name) and given to me during the first week of the season. Do NOT send payments to the schools – we had to track down too many missing payments last season.
3. Ammo orders. You will shoot 50 rounds/week. We have 7 weeks of season shooting (+1 optional practice week) so let me know by Wednesday, August 20th, how many cases (10 boxes/case) you need. And, if you need 12 or 20 gauge. Ammo is $90/case.
Note: We have historically been able to purchase team jerseys with the shooter's last name on the back. New shooters: first jersey is free; however, we need a minimum of 14 to place a new order. If returning shooters need a new jersey, the cost is $40. In both cases, please send me the size you’d like and I’ll start a list – if we don’t have enough for an order this spring, we’ll order in the fall. We have limited loaner jerseys the kids can use for pictures and state tournament.
See attachment for spring season dates, coach contact info, etc.
Let me know if you have any questions: Chad’s email, rptrapteam@gmail.com or call or text at 608-886-0181.
We look forward to another great season ahead!
