WHO ARE WE?

Colorado Youth Education in Shooting Sports (COYESS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. COYESS is the state’s only all-inclusive provider of shooting sports in elementary through high school as an extracurricular co-ed activity. COYESS’s priorities are to provide a safety and fun family environment under annually certified adult supervision. COYESS oversees American Skeet, American Trap, Sporting Clays, Olympic Skeet, and Olympic Trap at local, state, tournaments and virtual leagues across the state. 
COYESS is also proud to be partnered with the nation’s largest collegiate clay target program, the Association of College Unions International (ACUI) thus providing a bridge into collegiate marksmanship programs. Both COYESS and ACUI are national partners with the MidwayUSA Foundation and, therefore, are able to provide teams with perpetual endowment funding. 
COYESS is proud to partner with the Midway USA Foundation,  USA Youth Education in Shooting Sports (USAYESS), and wildlife conservation organizations to help youth grow their shooting program in order to help them become self-sufficient and ensure longevity.
