Why Do Kids Want to Play Sports
• Fun
• Friends
• Fit in

Introduction
Our Philosophy:
Junior golf schools need to develop
fundamental movement skills, establish
functional movement patterns, develop
sport specific skills, teach golf-specific
skills, and most importantly create a love
for the game.

Long Term Athletic Development
The LTAD approach focuses on having
kids perform age-appropriate skill
acquisition drills to maximize their athletic
potential. It progressively gets more
complicated and more specialized as the
athlete develops and reaches the next
level of development. The word LTAD was
first coined by Istvan Balyi.

Physical Literacy
Should have both before onset of growth spurt.

Specialization
• We would highly discourage early
specialization in golf (Before PHV) since it
may lead to:
– Physical imbalances
– Overuse injuries
– Early burnout
– Poor FMS development

Windows of Trainability
• Accelerated Adaptation refers to “critical”
or “sensitive periods” in a child’s
development that they respond faster to a
training stimulus.
– Due to many factors:
• Hormonal Influences
• Strength Development
• Nervous System Development
• Muscle Fiber Type Defferentiation

Stamina (Endurance) Window
• Critical Window:
– Boys and Girls
• Occurs at or around the onset of PHV.
• Aerobic capacity is recommended before athletes
reach PHV.
• Aerobic power should be introduced progressively
after growth rate decelerates

• Critical Windows:
– Boys and Girls
