About the Rifle Team
The Rifle Team is a competitive Co-ed Varsity sport. Our team was officially formed in 1952. Southern Lehigh's Rifle Teams are very competitive, winning 10 League titles since 2008, 6 Pennsylvanian Eastern Division wins since 2012, State Finalist in 2022, and winning the State Championship in 2021. We currently compete in the Northeast Pennsylvania Rifle League (NEPARL). The league is made up of eleven high schools in the Eastern and Central Pennsylvania areas. The league is a co-ed small bore-prone league competing in the winter P.I.A.A. sports season.

Where do we practice?
Where do we practice?
We practice at Hellertown Sportsman's Association (1793 Meadows Rd, Hellertown, PA) indoor Range
During Pre-season practice no transportation is provided. All students wanting to practice need a ride to and from the range.
Students are allowed to drive to practice but must park at the rear of the parking lot as far away from the range building as possible. Parents picking their child up must also park at the rear of the parking area to allow club members access to the other buildings.
The range building has multiple rooms available for the team to use including the lounge/ready room, range, and storage areas. Indoor restrooms are located in an adjacent building for student use.
The range is heated, but only while being used, please dress for the appropriate weather. The range is highly ventilated while practice is occurring, and students are encouraged to be appropriately dressed in the range or may stay in the ready room to be comfortable during down time at practice.
