When submitting a pre-registration form for Skeet and/or Sporting Clays, unless indicated otherwise, 4 person squads will be considered a team for trophy determination. Shooters will compete in the order they’ve signed up, unless changes are made by the coach. For these events only, all squad members do not have to compete on the same field, at the same time, to be eligible for team trophies.

Special Awards:
*These awards are in addition to the AIM Championship awards and will not exclude a team from any class or category awards.
Pre-registration is required to be considered for these awards. 

Many AIM teams are a result of team participation in other youth shooting programs (FFA, USAHSCTL, 4-H, American Legion & State Conservation). The top teams comprised of shooters from these organizations will be recognized with Special Recognition Awards. All shooters must be from the same chapter of the same organization. For example, if all squad members are 4-H, but from different chapters, this will not qualify for these Special awards. Pre-registration is required to be considered for these awards. 
Pre-registration Deadline is July 17, 2025.
