Judy Morris Selected Team USA Manager

Judy Morris of Hoboken, NJ, is the new team manager for NSCA Team USA. Morris replaces former Team USA manager, Jeff Demmon, who resigned recently after managing the team for four years.

The appointment was announced by Executive Council member Steve Schultz, chairman of the NSCA Advisory Council’s Awards Committee, which made the selection. “Judy has shown the ability to handle the job as a volunteer assistant to the previous team manager and is very familiar with the ins and outs of managing the teams,” said Schultz. “Her ability to provide seamless logistics to the team, coupled with her enthusiasm for fundraising, make Judy the perfect fit.”

Morris has been shooting sporting clays for seven years and registers about 4000 targets per year. “During that time, I have had the privilege of getting to know many of the past and present Team USA members,” she commented. “In 2008, I attended my first World FITASC event in Cyprus and was completely hooked on Team USA.”

The team manager serves as the liaison between Team USA members and the NSCA and is responsible for coordinating and managing the team for World Sporting and World FITASC events. The responsibilities include team competition coordination and planning, media relations, marketing, fundraising, management of team affairs, and all logistics and arrangements to field the teams.

“As team manager, my goals are to raise awareness of what Team USA is about so that NSCA members are proud to have a team and to demonstrate how the team can give back and help grow the sport,” Morris says. “To get the teams organized for the World Championships, there is an amazing amount of work involved – from filling the team slots to event registration, arranging travel, and securing gun permits – and I can’t wait to get started.”

Robert Crow, NSCA Director, also commented on the selection of Morris as the new Team USA manager. “Judy’s enthusiasm and expertise will make her a great team manager, and we’re pleased she has accepted this role,” he said. “On behalf of the association and previous teams, I also want to thank Jeff Demmon for serving the past four years in this position. Team USA made a great deal of progress and represented our association and our country well under his leadership.”
