Junior Coaching Sessions
We run Saturday morning coaching sessions through the year for juniors aged between 4 - 16. These are every Saturday 10.30am - 11.30am with the aim is to help the juniors improve their golf, their strength, their flexibility and their overall development.
We make sure that they enjoy the sessions with a different theme each week which includes around 15/20 mins doing various exercises to develop the juniors strength and co-ordination and all the movements we work on will help them with the movements required in a golf swing.
In addition we work to the Golf Foundation's Junior Passport Scheme as this is a national programme to enhance the lives of young people through playing golf.
More About The Junior Passport Scheme
The Junior Golf Passport is the national structured learning programme for juniors, endorsed by the PGA. The multi-layered programme progresses a complete novice golfer into a junior golfer ready for membership at a golf club.
The programme has 3 key levels: START, LEARN and PLAY. The START level is all about fun and an elementary introduction to golf. The LEARN level is a move towards technical instruction through games based learning, always with the emphasis on fun. The PLAY level teaches the child to apply their learning to the golf course, preparing them for potential club membership and competition. However, access to the golf course and playing golf on a course are important features of the Junior Golf Passport from the START in order to develop a real connection to golf.
The programme covers the following key areas of golf:
