    OUR APPROACH

    Building Juniors On and Off the Course

    For the past three years, our After School Academy has been a proven path for junior golfers ready to take their game seriously. We have watched juniors reach their goals of playing at a high level on their school teams, and several have gone on to collegiate programs.

    At the same time, this is a fun, welcoming outlet for kids just getting into the game. Every session is built around three pillars: coaching the mind, developing the body, and refining technique so players grow as athletes and as people.

    JUNIOR PATHWAY

    Four Groups. One Clear Path.

    Every junior enters at the level that matches their age and experience, then progresses through a structured pathway designed to build skill, confidence, and competitive readiness.

    Ages 4–7

    Little Linksters

    Introduction

    Ages 4–7. Play-based 60-minute group sessions that blend games, putting, chipping, and athletic movement using SNAG and age-appropriate equipment. Parents can expect better coordination, listening skills, and a confident love for the game that prepares juniors for the next pathway.

    Ages 8–10

    The Settlers

    Beginner

    The entry point for junior golfers. Settlers focuses on building a love for the game through fundamentals — grip, stance, putting, and chipping — in a fun, supportive group setting.

    Ages 10–12

    The Rangers

    Intermediate

    For juniors ready to level up. Rangers develops course strategy, full swing mechanics, and short game precision with more structured drills and on-course application.

    Ages 13–17

    The Mavericks

    Elite / Competitive

    The top tier of the after-school program. Mavericks is for competitive juniors focused on performance, mental game, tournament prep, and advanced shot-making.
