Pursuing Excellence in Junior Coaching is not a typical foundational coach education program. Our focus in this program is to address the topics that are often overlooked or only touched on in other junior coaching programs. Our goal is to help you become a better junior golf coach; not by improving your technical approach to coaching but by helping you understand what is important in youth sport and how you can create environments that foster this.

Pursuing Excellence in Junior Coaching :Part 1 is designed for junior golf coaches looking to improve their junior coaching skills and knowledge. The program comprises two online modules and two live facilitated sessions. This module, the first in the program, can be taken as a standalone module or as a starting point for the remainder of the program.

Part I of the program is designed for those who coach juniors aged 8-12 years old. If you are coaching younger (3-6 years) or older more competitive golfers (10-14 years) we recommend you complete the entire program.
