Next Level Golfers: "Taking your game to the next level!" (Generally Ages 11-13, but skill-dependent) - Short Game

60 min sessions

Focus: The Next Level program is designed for junior golfers who are ready to refine their technique and develop a deeper understanding of the game. Following ADM principles, this stage emphasizes motor skill development, body awareness, and structured training to build consistency and confidence. Players will work through three core areas—Full Swing & Body Awareness, Putting, and Short Game Skills—each consisting of four structured one-hour sessions. Juniors can progress through these topics at their own pace, allowing them to continue developing their skills over multiple seasons if desired. Each session introduces new techniques, drills, and challenges to foster independence and prepare players for the next stage of their golfing journey.

Advancement from Next Level Golfers is skill-based, not time-based. Players must demonstrate proficiency in Full Swing, Putting, and Short Game before moving up. If needed, additional practice or private instruction can help meet the required standards.
