Howey in the Hills, Fla.-Bishops Gate Golf Academy (BGGA) is excited to announce its full-time junior program. This nine-month program for students ages 12-18 is changing the game for the traditional academy model – the program is built around each individual student to promote their personal development both on and off the golf course.
“Creating a sense of autonomy and self-sufficiency through great coaching is what gives our students at BGGA the best tools and preparation for their college careers and beyond,” BGGA Chief Executive Officer Lee-Anne Gilchrist said. “Our players will spend more time on the golf course learning how to make decisions and building playing skills and growing in emotional and strategic development.”
Full-time junior program participants will split their weekdays between academics and golf. After spending the morning at Montverde Academy, students will transition to golf training in the afternoon. Students in the full-time junior program will be able to utilize our own facility at Bishops Gate or Bella Collina Golf Club in Clermont. Golf training is geared towards high performance in which state of the art technology is coupled with cutting-edge teaching methods to produce an athlete that is highly skilled, self-directed and knows his/her passion.
BGGA prides itself on creating a unique program tailored to each individual student. No two students are going to receive the exact same program due to their strengths, tendencies, experiences and areas of improvement. What does remain the same for all students, however, is an atmosphere and environment that challenges them and transforms their thinking and behavior so that they are at their very best.
Students will receive golf training utilizing the latest technology including K-Vest, Flight Scope and GEARS systems. Other components to the full-time junior program include mental training, fitness training, and college placement assistance. Additionally, students will be competing in tournaments twice a month.
Students will live in a safe and secured environment at the Bishops Gate Golf & Lakeside Community under the supervision of a housing team. The housing team is tasked with providing mentoring and life skills development for each student to further their growth as young people.
More information on the full-time junior program can be found on BGGA.com or by emailing info@bgga.com.
