CPVA Sports ProgramThe CPVA Sport of choice for most is basketball, followed close behind bowling, l'd say. Many would argue that point, however, there's those who say Trap Shoot comes a close third, although l see more carrying fishing poles than shot guns. So what am l trying to say, CPVA has a very diverse sports department, headed by the sport director Jemal Williams.

With our new sports grant from a local Archery Company, we have now added Archery to our itinerary. Although there is a great deal pre-planning for this sport due to the safety factor involved. Much care is taken to insure every angle of precaution is taken into account. At this point in time we are still in the safety stage of the program. For those of you that have considered participating, I'd say contact our office for further updates as to when Archery will be initiated.
