Our Hat & Bracelet System Like Swimming and Martial Arts, juniors progress through different levels. Each level focuses on specific movement and golf skills that are appropriate to their current development. The Benefits to Your Juniors: Fun First and Positive – our environment focuses on smiles and laughter creating positive experiences Different Groups for Boys and Girls - due to boys and girls developing at different rates, we have separate groups to ensure the best environment for both Physical Literacy Curriculum – our program curriculum focuses on developing fundamental movement skills, like throwing, along with fundamental sport skills, like chipping. This will provide juniors the athletic abilities to excel.

Development Age – all juniors grow with age, but the timing, rate and amount of their development varies dramatically. Therefore, juniors experience the activities based on their developmental age vs. chronological age. Windows of Training – we ensure that athletic skills and golf skills are trained at the appropriate period in development.
