The core output of the Junior Academy is the development of the 'Golfer for Life'. The program embodies the development of the junior across a range of learning outcomes and opportunities at your club, as well as engaging the family to drive a love for the game and create a golfer for life. The family and the junior\'s experience of the programme and life at the club will drive a lifelong positive brand affinity with your business.

The family and the junior\'s experience at the club will drive a positive reputation of your club in your local community. The programmes and activity of your club will help drive continued footfall and participation through future generations. The Junior Golf Academy Programme embodies a focus on driving three critical components for the development of the Golfer for Life, and to drive success across each stakeholder. The Junior Programmes have a core focus on driving the three critical components. Firstly, The Junior Golf Academy provides opportunities for the juniors to develop friendships. This is essential to drive engagement and participation. Secondly, engaging the whole family will be critical to driving participation, enjoyment and engagement at the club. Lastly, developing the junior across a range of learning outcomes to ultimately help them play the game with confidence and competence. The Junior Academy Programme has been built to drive a number of key principles which we know will deliver enormous results to your business, your club and your customers. The structure of the programs, supporting resources and the impact you can have are aligned to the following principles. The Junior Programme welcomes everyone to become involved. All programme classes, events and life at the club promote fun and engagement for the junior and the family. The programmes are built to provide the junior and the family with a development pathway that caters for progression. The programmes' focus is on building the junior's golf skills, transferable skills and building their skills for life. Regardless of experience and ability, the programmes and life at the club will promote inclusivity for all. Programme classes, events and life at the club will promote the wellbeing of the junior at all times. The junior and the family will receive access to high quality coaching. You are already highly knowledgeable about our sport and the program will drive a high quality coaching experience that extends beyond the lesson tee. The unique needs of each junior is at the core of the programme. The junior will receive the appropriate learning and opportunities at the right time. There are six core Junior Academy Programs, which can be delivered at your club. The specific programs are designed to activate and then engage juniors into coaching activity. The exact programs you choose to deliver will depend on the needs of your business and club, The programs in the Activate Phase are designed to provide new juniors with a low cost and low barrier entry experience of your programs. Juniors should transition to the Phase 3 programs designed for longer term engagement. A Fun Day is exactly what it says it is!

We understand that not every club is the same and you need to have the flexibility to offer a camp that works for you, your facilities and your customer base. There are three camp options that you can choose from, with each of these running over a minimum 3-days during the school holidays. A Mini Camp runs over 90 Minutes and is perfect for clubs who want to plug a golf camp element into a Multi Sports camp with other services, such as with Tennis, Swimming and multi-skills elements. Half Day Camps run over 3-hours and are ideal for those clubs operating in warm climates or where the coaching team is limited and your team cannot be tied up for the entire day. Full Day Camps run between 9am - 4pm and are perfect for those operating in cooler climates or with large coaching teams. In these camps juniors have greater access to on course opportunities and includes lunch for each junior attending.

Tracking progress is one the the most important elements of the Orbis Programs and it's value cannot be underestimated. To deliver an effective Junior Golf Academy program, the relationship between the coach, the parent and the juniors is of vital importance As a coach, you need to be able to track the progress of juniors within your programs, This is vital for tailoring your programs to the needs of each junior, directing their journey effectively and ensuring that they remain in your programs for the long term. Juniors will want to enjoy playing and learning the game. They will be engaged within your program by seeing progress and earning achievements along the way. Parents are the gatekeepers of the juniors participation into your programs and you need to manage this relationship carefully. You need to be able to demonstrate their juniors progress at every step and empower parents to play a leading role in their juniors engagement and development. Central to tracking a juniors progress through your programs are the mechanisms to measure, record and then reward progress. Our Junior Academy programs and the supporting resources have been built to allow you to meet these needs at every stage. Where developmentally appropriate, you can measure a junior's progress through a number of skills based challenges across the four skill elements of Swing, On the Green, Around the Green and Course Play. Our seamlessly integrated GLF Connect system and powerful data insights also allow you to measure progress at every step. The junior\'s journey through the programme can be tracked through physical and digital resources such as My Game + feature within GLF Connect and the My Academy Junior Folder. The junior is rewarded for their achievements and progress through physical rewards such as progress levels hats, hat pins, stickers and virtual rewards on the GLF Connect App. Through participation in the Junior Academy Programme, the junior will have the opportunity to working through a progression pathway across six levels with the levels colour coded across the programme resources and delivery. Access to the progression pathway is delivered to juniors aged 6-16 but, you as the coach have the flexibility to decide when this is appropriate for each junior. The Mastering the Game learning outcome is used as the means to monitor, track and reward the junior's journey through the progression levels and the junior is able to attempt a number of challenges during programme classes and events. The first three levels of the progression pathway are intended as the entry levels of the programme. Targeted towards juniors with limited to no experience of the game, working to achieve the basic competency across the Mastering the Game learning outcome where physical maturity isn't a barrier to progression. The latter three levels of the progression pathway are targeted towards juniors with experience of the game or who demonstrate a level of competency across the learning outcomes and a level of physical maturity to attempt the challenges within the Swing and Play elements. Those juniors working towards these levels are beginning to demonstrate the ability to play the golf course socially, independently and competitively within a club environment. The junior's progress across the six levels and the four Mastering the Game skills are assessed using 72 Challenges. There are three challenges within each skill element at each level. Challenges are to be completed during classes and events, but you have the discretion to run these challenges during other Programme activities such as individual lessons. You should also use your discretion when juniors attempt these challenges during classes. The challenges have been designed to be easily conducted during these classes.
