About
NASP Portal is the official mobile application developed by the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP), designed to connect students, coaches, parents, and archery enthusiasts with everything happening across NASP tournaments. Users can browse live and historical tournament scores, follow specific schools and archers, and view detailed analytics on individual archer performance over time. The app doubles as an electronic scorecard for virtual tournaments, making it easy for participants to submit scores without manual calculation. A standout feature is its support for Basic Archery Instructors (BAIs): the app stores and displays official BAI credentials, allows instructors to submit required annual reports directly through the app, and keeps contact information current for tournament registration purposes. With the Event Passport feature added in recent updates, users gain even more control over their event participation and history. The app is free to download and is designed primarily for iPhone and iPad. It's ideal for student archers wanting to track their progress, coaches managing school programs, parents following their children's competitions, and BAI-certified instructors needing a convenient credential and reporting tool. Regular updates have continuously improved performance, added new features, and addressed bugs, keeping the experience smooth for its growing user base.
