Currently there are 18 teams across Alaska, from Fairbanks to Ketchikan!  You may view our team information under the "Teams" tab, contact information for coaches, practice locations and times, fundraising, and competitions. 

Clay target sports are not just for the boys!  Girls often excel in the shotgun sports, and Alaska trains some amazing lady shooters! 

Registration is now open!  Simply go to www.usayess.org and click on "Registration" and select "Athlete."  Make sure you select the correct team, and you have cleared your membership with the Head Coach.   Any questions feel free to contact us at alaskayess@yahoo.com.

Providing this activity to our youth may be one of the best opportunities to keep our kids healthy in mind as well as body. Alaska SCTP-YESS and its member teams, coaches, volunteers, and athletes are not responsible for this or any other virus. We will, however, do our best to be sure we are complying with state, local, facility and program policies in an effort to do our part to attempt to slow the spread of the disease, while still providing an outlet for our youth to enjoy the shotgun sports in the great Alaskan outdoors!

Athletes may not practice or compete if they have a fever, cough, vomiting, or other signs of illness.  We ask that parents & guests show the same respect for the health and wellbeing of others.

Alaska SCTP-YESS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting youth shooting on a competitive and scholastic level throughout the State of Alaska.  Our purpose is to provide funds, equipment, training and guidance to the youth shooting programs of Alaska, with the goal of developing self-confidence, self-esteem, self-reliance, respect, personal discipline, responsibility, citizenship, teamwork, and sportsmanship through regular competition at local, state, and national events.

Our 20th Annual AlaskaYESS State Championship will be a map-themed event with a Steampunk edge, based on the premise of making a plan, charting the course, for a successful "journey" in the clay target sports!

Held in early June each year since 2004, this event is the largest competition for youth in the clay target sports in Alaska, averaging more than 65,000 targets of competition plus training and fun shoots thrown each year!   

The 2024 State Championship will be held June 4-8 at both Birchwood Shooting Park and 7th Summit Shooting Park, and will include optional Helice! Helice is a paper-only, limited registration.  Please email us for a copy of the registration at alaskayess@yahoo.com.

For the first time we are offering each discipline as an A La Carte registration.  For example, you may shoot only the trap events for $136, which will include Trap, Wobble, and Double Trap.  Choose the "A La Carte" registration for limited participation.

See Registration tab for more details!

AlaskaYESS Varsity Team is a team of athletes who are not chosen for their ability in shotgun sports.  They are chosen for their academic excellence, leadership, community service, and as Ambassadors for AlaskaYESS.  Through our affiliation with USAYESS, we are working on developing collegiate teams here in Alaska, as well as traveling with AlaskaYESS Varsity to compete in collegiate clay target competitions across the US in the High School Division.  This puts our Varsity athletes on the field with collegiate athletes and their coaching staff. 

For more information please contact Lindy Moss, Head Coach,  AlaskaYESS Varsity Team at (907) 354-5244

The theme for our 2024 Spring Sporting Clays Series is "Flight Plan: Successful!"  Sporting  I will be 50 5-Stand targets.  Sporting II will be 50-Bird Double Sporting, which is all True Pairs.  Sporting III will be our 100-Bird  Walkthrough Championship.

AlaskaYESS hosts a lot of competition opportunities throughout the year to help our athletes test their skills, providing a venue for developing camaraderie, sportsmanship, citizenship, and fair play. 

Because of the vast distance and extremes in geography, AlaskaYESS sanctions Trap and Skeet Virtuals for all member teams across Alaska in the Spring and the Fall.  This helps our athletes prepare for the State Championship, held the second week of June each year.

We also host Regional tournaments, such as the Southeast Trap Tournament held in Juneau every year.  There are Varsity tournaments for the Trap & Skeet, Advanced Trap & Skeet and Sporting Clays Seasons throughout the school year. 

AlaskaYESS is very fortunate to have the support of numerous organizations, conservation non-profits, businesses and individuals.  Please check out our Affiliates tab for more information on our generous supporters, as well as the Store tab to direct link you to businesses that support our youth.

Our youth clay target sports program would like you to partner with us as we raise up our athletes to not only excel in the shotgun sports, but to excel in life! Please donate today!
