Accokeek, MD – Beretta USA is proud to return to the 2025 Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) Nationals, taking place July 12-19 at the Cardinal Shooting Center in Marengo, Ohio. As a long standing supporter of youth shooting sports, Beretta is bringing an exciting slate of hands-on activities, an exclusive product preview, and a world-class training opportunity for young competitors.

“We are excited to have a great sponsor like Beretta join us again at our National Championships, said Rick Leach, Executive Director at Scholastic Action Shooting Sports Foundation. “We are even more excited for our members to get a sneak peek at the new firearm that Beretta has been developing in collaboration with SASP.”

At the heart of the action will be the Beretta Demo Bay, where athletes and spectators alike can test drive Beretta’s top-tier competition pistols including the 92X Performance Carry Optic and an exclusive first look at a brand-new pistol platform, available to try before its official launch. Attendees will get firsthand experience of the innovation, reliability, and performance Beretta brings to every level of competition. Simultaneously, SCTP Nationals will also be in full swing, and Beretta will have its shotgun demo building open for athletes interested in trying out the full line of Beretta competition shotguns. Beretta dealers will be onsite for those looking to purchase and take their performance to the next level.

The highlight of the week will be Beretta Day on July 17, featuring two youth-focused pistol training sessions led by World Champion shooter JJ Racaza. With one session in the morning and one in the afternoon, these exclusive classes will cover concepts of speed, efficiency, and performance. Participants will get the unique chance to learn from one of the most decorated and dynamic shooters in the world, whether actively participating or attending as observers.

“We’re excited to be back at SASP Nationals and continue our investment in the next generation of competitors,” said Dina Sanders, Marketing Manager at Beretta USA. “Between our live-fire demo experiences and JJ’s world-class instruction, there’s never been a better time for young shooters to connect with the Beretta brand.”
