The USA Clay Target League (USACTL) just launched its 2025 fall season with a record-smashing 16,841 student-athletes, competing on 1,109 high school, college, and homeschool teams across the country. It’s the League’s 31st consecutive season of record-breaking growth—remarkable momentum for a sport many still consider niche.
Unlike mainstream sports, there are no tryouts or benchwarmers. Everyone competes—and the League is proud to emphasize safety, sportsmanship and marksmanship as its core values.
With more than 11,200 coaches and team staff supporting these programs, USACTL’s co-ed and adaptive structure allows all students, including those with physical disabilities, to compete side by side. It’s Title IX compliant, school-approved and even letter-worthy—complete with yearbook recognition and scholarship opportunities for seniors.
