Iowa's Corridor Clay Crushers

This is an organization that shares shooting sports experiences.

In the fall of 2021 we are excited that Kirkwood Community College has incorporated shooting sports into their collegiate club program offerings! Congrats Coach Darren! It will be a fantastic season!

Shooting sports education engages the Ely American Legion post 5555 sharp shooter team and Basic Marksmanship Program.

The "Corridor" Collegiate name comes from an East Central Iowa term for the "corridor" area that stretches between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City along Interstate 380. The Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Corridor of Linn, Benton, Cedar, Jones, Johnson, and Washington counties have a background with youth shooting sports in their middle schools and high schools.

For the Spring 2019 season, student athletes in this club were from Kirkwood Community College, Mt Mercy University and Warburg College.

All practice, entry fees, uniform and travel are paid for by each student athlete.

Student athletes on this team are primarily from the Interstate 380 and Interstate 80 corridor in the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City areas and expands in either direction ~70 miles.
