FUNdamentals Of Golf Ages 6-9

stage 1 with texy 1483 x 405

FUNdamentals Of Golf             

Boys & Girls ages 6-9  
(Please note: Ages are guidelines, not restrictions)

Primary focus:
Building fundamental movement and overall motor skills. The ADM(American Development Model) emphasizes what it calls the ABC’s of athleticism: agility, balance, coordination and speed. Nothing about practice is formal at this point. It’s about falling in love with the game and learning how to play well with others.


Competition level: 
Group fun! It’s not about who wins at this point in the learning process. We will have some fun games that will have "winners" but that is not our main focus in the FUNdamentals program. NOTE: If you child is within this age group but is more advanced please consider the next level up LEARN TO PLAY classes.

What the coach recommends:
As your child's coach,I believe it’s important to keep golfers in smaller age groups at this stage so that kids don’t feel too far behind or that they’re not strong enough. Otherwise, they’ll lose interest quickly. That is why I limit my classes to a maximum of 8 students. In my 30+ years of coaching, I have found that kids that have fun stay interested in golf. If I do my job, you should not have to "make" you kids want to go to golf lessons!

Golf Equipment:
In the FUNdamentals program we will mainly be using SNAG golf clubs that we provide for the participants. You can see SNAG equipment at www.snaggolf.com.  Please do not go out and purchase equipment for your child to participate in this class. If they have some equipment already that is great. It is VERY important at this stage that kids play with age-appropriate equipment. Cut-down irons from mom or dad’s old set get kids into bad swing habits early on as they compensate for clubs that are too heavy. We have junior sets available for sale and we also have junior club rental options.

Athletic Skills: 
Agility, balance, coordination, skipping, hopping, throwing/tossing and catching away from body with either hand, flexibility, strength.


Technical Skills: 
Continued focus on fundamental movement skills while starting to develop putting, chipping and full-swing basics.

Psychological Development: 
Concentration, teach-ability, learning to make choices, respect, understanding rules, coping with success and failure, problem solving.

Social Development: 
Learning to cooperate with and help other children, being considerate to other people. Wanting to do their best. Showing responsibility through completing simple tasks.


Practice: 
No formal guidelines! At this age, it's about positive experience and participation based on a child's interest level.

FEES:
The enrollment fee for each player for this 6 session class is $180 and includes snacks and water during all classes and participant gifts.
