LEVEL 1- (Currently on Waitlist)

(Ages 6-8) 

We cover all areas of the game with these young junior golfers.  We incorporate instruction in all areas of the game such as (technique work, on-course instruction, rules, and etiquette).  We also make sure that the juniors are learning and developing the “FMS” (Fundamental Movement Skills).  Fundamental Movement Skills plus Fundamental Sports Skills equals Physical Literacy!   The junior golfers will also have the opportunity to compete in some Team matches through the spring and summer months.

Dr. Vern Seefeldt (1980) Proposed that children must complete a certain level of competency in FMS( Fundamental Movement Skills) if they are to break through a hypothetical proficiency barrier and successfully engage in sport specific skills later in life. Gabbard (2000), Haywood & Getchell (2001); Payne & Isaacs (2002)

Fundamental Movement Skills:
1. Locomotive Skills: Running, Jumping, Dodging, Skipping, Hopping, Bounding, Sprinting
2. Stability Skills (ABC’s of Athleticism): Agility, Balance, Coordination, speed, Change of Direction
3. Manipulative / Object Control Skills: Throw, Kick, Strike, Catch, Dribble
4. Awareness: Space Awareness, Kinesthetic Awareness, Body Awareness, Rules

LEVEL 3 – (Currently On Waitlist)

(Age 12-14)

This Train to Play phase is when we start honing in on the junior’s skill set more aggressively as well as on course time.  We start incorporating more technology teaching when necessary, such as video and 3 -D Motion Analysis so the junior can train with bio feedback to see and better understand the correct motions.  These are critical years that these junior golfers are increasing their speed and strength.  Juniors this age are probably going through a growth spurt, so it is important these juniors are still working on the S.M.A.S.H. zone as well.  The junior golfers will also have the opportunity to compete in some Team matches through the spring and summer months.
