Steel Challenge has come to Harvard Sportsmen's Club That means Scholastic Steel Challenge can happen there also.
Most Scholastic Steel Challenge teams are associated with schools. SSC teams are organized into squads of four shooters, ages 12-20. Kids from Wayland High School came to me and asked me to help them start a team, and be their coach. We're competing this weekend at the Hartford SSC match, against Harvard, Yale, West Point, US Coast Guard Academy, and University of Vermont.
I've been through the process of starting an SSC high school team, and I'd be happy to help get teams started at other schools. All you need is a coach and 4 shooters. The coach needs no certifications or experience. They just have to be willing to put in the time to manage the logistics of scheduling and coordinating the team, its equipment, its practices, and its matches. Some adult associated with the team has to have a Class A Mass License to Carry Firearms. I can help folks through this process too.
If anyone cares to help start an SSC team, please feel free to use this thread. I'd like to get in touch with anyone interested in shooting, coaching, or instructing SSC at Harvard Sportsmen's Club.
Once the HSC-owned steel targets arrive, we will start scheduling open SSC practices for all HSC members and their guests. Those ages 12-20 get to shoot, those older than that get to help coach, instruct, RO, etc.
SSC is a blast, both for kids and adults. I encourage the NorthEastShooters community to consider getting involved in forming a team of your local high school kids.
