Additional Information

Because kids deserve incredible experiences... 

“I have been golfing about 30 years. I was not sure I could gain much from my clinic with Katerina, but thought I would give it a try.   I am really happy I did.  I have become a much better putter , I have learned an effective technique to get out of the sand, and have perfected some new shots into the green.   Katerina taught me a new way of strategizing on the course.  She is very easy to work with.   Also very important—— she taught me to know all my “carry” distances with each club.  This has made a huge difference in hitting more GIR.  I highly recommend her!!! Money well spent. “   - Elaine Meadows

• Question: What skills will my child learn?
• Answer:  Students learn the fundamentals of golf that are necessary in the development of any golfer.  We incorporate simple cues to teach: stance, grip, posture, alignment, putting, chipping, pitching, full swing, the language of golf, parts of the golf course, rules and etiquette.  Beyond golf, each lesson also focuses on a life skill.  We promote sportsmanship and foster good character by Teaching, Enforcing, Advocating and Modeling the six pillars of character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. 

• Question: My child has played golf before... will Texas Team Junior Golf classes enhance their current skills?
• Answer:  Yes, Texas Team introduces concepts and fundamentals that are beneficial to all children, regardless of their current skill level.   With our 6 level program, we are sure to find the right challenge for your child.   If they have played golf before, it’s even more reason to have them sign up for a class.

• Question:  Why do kids like to participate in golf with Texas Team? 
• Answer:  Research will defend that the number one reason for both girls and boys is to have FUN.  Kids have fun playing sports when they can interact with their friends. Texas Team's programming provides a safe learning environment in which several players can be instructed at once, creating a positive social climate that resembles more of a team sports atmosphere versus an individual.  We use PLAY kids favorite way to learn as the driving force of the program.

• Question:   Why do kids stop participating in sport? 
• Answer:  Children are more likely to quit playing if they have low perceptions of their competence.  The Texas Team Coaching System has been modified to fit the needs of new learners but still contains the aspects in traditional golf. These modifications to equipment and games provide opportunities for any new learner to find initial success, and more likely to be coming back for more!.
