IWLA Rockville offers a number of programs directed to young people between 5 and 18 years old. These include BB gun, air pistol and air rifle programs.

Previous experience is not required for participation in the junior air rifle/pistol program. The program, which emphasizes safety and discipline, is open to boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 18. Classes and practice sessions are held on Saturday mornings from September through May in the chapter house.

The chapter has a team which participates in 4 or 5 matches during the year. The chapter provides match grade air rifles and pistols, ammunition (pellets) and targets. There is a nominal fee for participation.
