SCTPThe Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) is proud to announce its new role as the governing body for the Progressive Position Pistol (PPP) Program! This exciting development marks a new chapter for the PPP program, which continues to thrive through a strong and ongoing partnership with USA Shooting, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), and the Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP).

To celebrate the regrowth of this dynamic program, we are thrilled to announce the 2025 Progressive Position Pistol Junior National Event, which will take place August 1–3, 2025, at the Missouri Marksmanship Education Center in Columbia, MO. As part of this program’s mission to support young athletes, the PPP serves as a feeder program for the Intercollegiate Pistol Program, making this event a key recruiting opportunity for collegiate coaches. Graduating seniors and rising stars will have the chance to showcase their talents in front of coaches while taking their first steps toward collegiate competition. Additionally, this program provides aspiring athletes with a pathway to represent Team USA on Junior or National Teams, with sights set on competing in the Olympics.

This event offers youth shooters the opportunity to showcase their skills, compete on a national stage, and experience the camaraderie and sportsmanship that make the shooting sports community so special. 2025 Progressive Position Pistol Rule Book is now available. This document contains the latest guidelines, standards, and competition requirements for athletes, coaches, and event organizers. Be sure to review the rulebook ahead of the Junior National Event. Download the 2025 PPP Rule Book Here Mark your calendars and join us in Columbia, Missouri, for this incredible event that promises to highlight the future of competitive pistol shooting!
