Junior Ravens JR Golf Program: 2012 Winter Session

What will the Raven Golf Club at Verrado's Junior Program do for your child?

The Junior Raven program will help your child learn to play golf and have fun in the process. Each skill level in the Junior Raven program will have five areas that will help your child learn, develop, and practice the skills to become a better golfer and enjoy the sport of golf.

  • - Golf Skills
  • - Fitness and Nutrition
  • - Golf and "Near Golf" Experiences
  • - Sportsmanship, Etiquette and Rules
  • - Golf and Physical Assessments
Each skill level will develop the necessary physical and golf skills to practice, improve, and enjoy the sport of golf. Each junior golfer will be tested before they begin each level to determine their level of experience, which will help establish and measure goals for the participant and the instructor. At the end of each level each participant will be tested again and will receive a score based on their skill level. Participants will be given a practice program to improve their skills and set goals to help become a better golfer.

At the heart of the Junior Raven program is Long Term Player Development. The goal of Long Term Player Development is to develop each individual's physical and golf skills in a steady progression based on ability. It is critical to lay down the foundation for a solid skill base as each youth progresses in the sport of golf. A solid golf base is not established by limiting each individual to only hitting and practicing golf shots every day. Fundamental movements and skills will be introduced through fun activities. Each youth that goes through the Junior Raven program will participate in activities that may appear to have no correlation to traditional golf instruction and other golf programs that you have seen in the past. The Junior Raven program will include activities such as kicking a soccer ball and hitting a tee ball with a baseball bat. These activities may seem to have no relationship to golf, but the reality is that they are establishing the fundamental physical and motor skills to perform a golf swing that requires timing, balance, and coordination.

Each junior golfer is unique in his or her own skill level; although age may be a factor it is often inappropriately used as a benchmark to place juniors into groups. A clear assessment of your child's skill level is critical in placing them in the proper level in order to provide the best opportunity for growth. Skill levels will be assessed on an ongoing basis in order make advancement recommendations and create the most fun golf environment for your child.
