Submit Your In-School Commitment

A coach guide to submitting your school's NASP® in-school commitment for the season shown in School Manager.

For schools planning to compete in tournaments, the head archery coach must submit the commitment. If you are not the head coach, share this guide with them. An approved commitment for the required season is needed before tournament registration can begin.

A NASP School that offers in-school archery without competing in tournaments can be Active without an in-school commitment. NASP School and Other organizations can be included in a BAI annual report recording their instruction to reactivate them. Centershot organizations cannot be included in these reports. See the reporting guide for the steps. Only NASP Schools can submit in-school commitments, which are required if they plan to compete in tournaments.

Before You Start

  • Sign in with your own BAI account associated with the school. If the school is missing from your list, follow the BAI association guide first.
  • Confirm the in-school lesson plan with the classroom teacher and school administrator. Have the class name, the certified BAI who will lead the lessons, and the principal's name and email address ready.
  • Know the grade levels enrolled at the school; the form asks for them if they are missing from the school's record.
  • Only organizations of type NASP School with an Active or Inactive status can submit. An Inactive NASP School becomes Active when its commitment is approved. Contact your state/provincial coordinator if the organization's type or status needs correction.

1. Open Your School's Commitment

  1. Log in to nasptournaments.org and open School > School Manager. On a smaller screen, select Menu first.
  2. Find the correct school under Associated Schools. Select Open, then select Commit Now in the In-School Requirement card. For an Inactive NASP School, you can also select More Information in its status message, then Review or submit commitment.
  3. Check the school name and school year shown on the In-School Commitment page before entering information.

If a commitment has already been submitted for that season, select View Details in the In-School Requirement card to review it. Pending or denied commitments can be updated; approved commitments are read-only.

An Inactive school remains available for managing archer records, transferring archers out, and managing coach associations. These management tasks do not require a commitment. Tournament registration remains unavailable while the school is inactive.

2. Complete the Form

If Grade levels enrolled in this school appears, select the school's lowest and highest grades. Then answer each question accurately. Additional questions appear as you complete the first two answers.

  1. At least 10 hours: Confirm whether at least 10 hours of NASP® lessons will be taught in class, during the official school day, as part of the class curriculum, by a certified NASP® instructor.
  2. Lesson content: Confirm whether the lessons will include eye dominance, making a string bow, the 11 steps to archery success, and students shooting Genesis bows.
  3. Physical Education: Indicate whether the lessons will be taught in PE. If you select No, enter the name of the class where lessons will be taught, such as Science. Enter the class name, not the instructor's name.
  4. In-school BAI: Under Search for BAI, enter at least the first two letters of the instructor's last name in BAI Last Name and select Search. Verify the name and city, then choose Select beside the BAI who will lead the lessons. You must search for and select yourself if you are that instructor. Use Search Again to change the selection.
  5. Official teacher: Indicate whether the selected BAI is the official teacher assigned to the class, beyond teaching its archery lessons.
  6. Principal: Enter the school principal's name and email address. If this is a homeschool without a principal or lead, use your own name and email address as directed on the form.
Selecting No for question 1 or 2 displays This school is not competition eligible and prevents you from completing the form. Discuss the lesson requirements with your coordinator before continuing.

3. Review and Submit

  1. Review the selected BAI, class information, and principal's email address. Make sure the classroom teacher and school administrator know about the commitment and can confirm the answers.
  2. Read the notices and check the box certifying that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
  3. Select Submit. If a required-field or error message appears, correct it and select Submit again. Cancel leaves the page without submitting.
  4. After submission, the site returns to the school's page. Check the status in the In-School Requirement card for the season you just submitted.

4. Check Approval Status

The principal receives a copy with instructions to report an inaccurate plan. The selected in-school BAI also receives an email if they are different from the submitting head coach.

Your submission requires state/provincial coordinator approval if any one of these conditions applies:

  • The lessons will not be taught in Physical Education.
  • The selected in-school BAI is not the official teacher assigned to the class beyond teaching its archery lessons.
  • The principal's email matches your primary BAI email. Capitalization and spaces at the beginning or end of either address are ignored when checking for a match.

If none of these conditions applies, the commitment is automatically approved. You may select yourself as the in-school BAI; that selection alone does not require coordinator approval. The same rules apply when you update and resubmit a pending or denied commitment.

In-school commitment statuses and next steps
StatusWhat to Do
ApprovedThe commitment is approved for the displayed season. Continue with tournament registration, subject to the tournament's other eligibility requirements.
Pending Coordinator ApprovalYour submission is awaiting review. Watch for an approval or denial email. Contact your coordinator if you have questions about its status.
DeniedReview the denial email and any reason provided. Resolve the issue with your coordinator, then update and resubmit the commitment.

Commitment Made confirms a submission exists; check the status beneath it to confirm approval. If you do not see an expected email, check your spam or junk folder and return to School Manager to check the status.

Corrections and Help

  • Update a pending or denied commitment: Open View Details (or More Information > Review or submit commitment for an Inactive NASP School). Review the existing commitment, correct the form below it, check the accuracy certification, and select Submit again. Check the resulting status after resubmitting.
  • Correct an approved commitment: Contact your coordinator. The coach form does not allow changes after approval.
  • Cannot find or select the instructor: Search using the beginning of their last name. Results include active BAIs whose teaching state/province and country match the school. An Authorized type mismatch result cannot be selected. Contact your coordinator if the instructor's certification or teaching information needs attention.
  • Commitment unavailable: Read the school-status message. If School Manager says the In-School Requirement is only available to schools of type NASP School, contact your coordinator if the school's type is incorrect.
  • Registration still blocked: Confirm that the commitment is approved for the season required by the tournament and that you selected the correct school.

For lesson requirements, school status, or approval questions, contact your state/provincial NASP® coordinator.
