HILTON HEAD ISLAND, South Carolina — Junior Players Golf Academy (JPGA), the leader in full-time, intensive and student-focused junior golf coaching, has announced its full line-up of programming for 2018.
In addition to the Full-Time Academy and Post Graduate Program for athletes looking to improve their game before entering college, various JPGA Junior Golf Camps are available year-round.
The Full-Time Academy runs from mid-August through the end of May with housing, meals and transportation included. Students receive daily individualized coaching from a staff never exceeding a 4:1 student-to-teacher ratio and have access to five courses on Hilton Head Island and three in Orlando.
The Academy also provides Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) fitness training, weekly video analysis and Trackman sessions, college counseling and placement, Hurricane Junior Golf Tour (HJGT) membership and nine entries to HJGT events (including travel, accommodations and coaches). Interviews are required for prospective Full-Time Academy students.
“At JPGA, everything we do is dedicated to helping our student-athletes become well-rounded individuals ready to excel on and off the golf course,” says Keith Bach, President of JPGA. “Our wide range of programs include individualized coaching and access to award-winning staff, training facilities and golf courses creating an environment for all players to thrive.”
To complement the Full-Time Academy and Post Graduate Program, JPGA will offer four seasonal camps in 2018. Program specifics, duration and pricing vary based on the selected program and are as follows:
