The High School Trapshooting Spring Season is HERE!
As we step into the 2026 High School Trap Spring Season, I want to take a moment to recognize something important.
First—thank you to Tim Hein for his recent post. That kind of dialog is exactly what brings this community to life. It sparked conversation, perspective, and reminded me why this group matters. We need more of that.
Now here we are.
All the off-season planning, organizing, recruiting, fundraising, and preparation has led to this moment - 9+ weeks of student athletes stepping onto the line, representing their teams, their schools, and something bigger than themselves.
This is where I hope it all shows up: Discipline. Commitment. Attitude. Accountability.
And with that… I want to open up a conversation on something I'm sure every coach deals with, but not everyone talks about openly:
How are you handling difficult parents?
What’s your approach when a student-athlete signs up, commits… and then quits last minute?
How do you balance holding standards while still keeping the door open for growth?
There’s no perfect playbook here - but there is a lot of experience in this group.
Let’s share it.
And while we’re at it—don’t just bring the problems.
What are your wins right now?
Big or small - team culture, athlete breakthroughs, personal growth, program milestones… let’s hear what’s going right.
Let’s make this season count.
