Details of Program

  • Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 to 7 PM inside working on strengthening, stretching, balance, swing drills and speed training
  • Saturday morning from 8 to 9 AM inside as above, then on to the course/range from 9 to 10:30 AM

  • Focusing on high school and pre-high school players or other competitive juniors.

Recommendations

This program prepares the junior player for the high school season, which begins the first week in March. It also fills the gap for juniors between the summer season and the beginning of the high school season so they are more prepared for the HS season. Plus generates revenue for the instructor during the off season.
