Junior Scoring School
Discover the difference between teaching and coaching
Coaching takes a holistic approach to the game where the Coach gets to know and understand the student and through this relationship, guides the student towards their goal. To achieve this, commitment from both parties is required. This program is designed for current or aspiring high school or tournament golfers, or those juniors who simply want to develop the skills to take their game to the next level.

Junior Speed Training Program
Juniors need to hit certain speed windows (developmental ages to train speed) in order to maximize their potential for speed later in life. Once those windows are closed, it is more difficult to train speed. Juniors ages 5-17 will train to increase their club head speed using methods developed by SuperSpeed Golf and the Titleist Performance Institute.
Speed Windows:
Boys 7-9 and 13-16 years old
Girls 6-8 and 11-13 years old
Details coming Spring 2020
