ELITE Junior Development Turning Today s Youth into Real Players and Real Athletes Program Outline
Passion with Purpose The elite junior development program is a premium program for serious junior golfers and athletes. The monthly program runs year round and is broken into 3-month intervals allowing us the opportunity to assess, track, and manage all aspects of player development. Players are not required to participate for more than one month at a time and can join at any point during the program. The 3-month time frame simply allows us the opportunity to cover the basics for each stage of instruction and development as well as an adequately opportunity to evaluate player progression. With a low player/coach ratio, we are able to assist each and every player through a comprehensive development plan. Though fun is at the forefront of our program, we are also dedicated to push our players to achieve greatness from both an athletic and golf skill standpoint. The elite program requires dedication and a willingness to follow modern trends in junior golf programming including our belief in building an athlete before a golfer. We strive to assist our players to become fluent in standard fundamental movement skills prior to advancing to fundamental sports skills. This process allows us to ensure physical literacy through LTAD (long term athletic development) standards ensuring that our players will have the greatest potential to excel in the sport.
