Starting new Jr air rifle group

Good news today is, permission granted to start a youth (maybe seniors as well) air rifle group at my local church. Pretty much carte blanche for any /all situations involving target air guns.
I am reading the CMP website, and calling tomorrow.
A very good floor area of 50 foot x 50 foot with high ceilings, with an elevated stage 24 foot x 12 foot depth off one side, possibly to shoot standing into.
Already have 2 full length separate wheeled accordion style walls for barriers, backstop via ballistic cloth, etc.
And what seems to be a very enthusiastic large group of ready to shoot Jrs. 12 to 20 yr olds.

Any and all advice, is much appreciated, although I know I need to read everything available here at this site.
Thank you, R

Perhaps also look into potential affiliation with an American Legion post, so you will not have to reinvent the wheel...

Here is the overview pamphlet-
