Our purpose

The purpose of the Yorkshire Archery Association is to promote and support the sport of archery in Yorkshire. The YAA represents Yorkshire's archers at the regional and national levels.

The YAA is affiliated to the Northern Counties Archery Society and the Grand National Archery Society (Archery GB).

The YAA has the largest number of affiliated clubs of any English county organisation.

The YAA organises several tournaments each year including the indoor and outdoor county championships. The YAA runs the Yorkshire county team, which regularly competes against other counties in the Northern Counties area and elsewhere.

The YAA maintains records of the highest scores achieved in the various disciplines of archery practised in the county.
