(Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas) – The USA Junior National Golf Team announces its partnership with Craig Bocking Golf Academy as a brand new certified USA Junior National Team Training Center.
Beginning immediately, Craig Bocking and his staff at Burningtree Country Club will provide coaching and competitive opportunities to USA Junior National Team members. Bocking Golf will offer three of the five USA Junior National Team programs -Developmental II, Future Stars and Pre-Elite- will be featured.
USA Junior Golf Team National Director Tom Relf is excited to have Bocking join the program. “To have a someone with Craig’s coaching ability and experience join us is very humbling.” Craig has a very successful coaching business with a tremendous following in the region. To have him be a part of our program validates everything we are trying to do in our efforts to develop highly skilled junior golfers across the country” stated Relf.
“I’m excited to be a host site for the USA Junior National Golf Team! I feel juniors develop at a faster rate when part of a team. The juniors on our team are going to have world class coaching and all the tools they need to play at the highest level,” commented Bocking. “To be Alabama’s first USA Junior Golf Team training center is exciting for Burningtree Country Club and to our junior golfers in the region”.
Developmental II athletes are those who have just begun their competitive journey. Certified USA National Team Coaches will work with each participant to develop the various skills necessary to become a member of the Future Stars Team. Athletes in the developmental program are expected to compete locally in junior golf competitions. Program coaches will assist participants and their parents in choosing appropriate competitive opportunities.
Future Stars teams are for athletes age eleven and older who have displayed a passion for the game and possess experience in competitive golf events. Team members will meet two-to-three times weekly for coaching sessions led by Certified USA National Team coaches and are eligible to participate in regional training camps when space is available.
USA National Team Coaches identify prospective Pre-Elite team members based on their performance in USA National Golf Camps, high school golf competitions, or state and local junior tournaments. These players consistently score in the mid 70s to low 80s. Work ethic and attitude are also important traits. Like Future Stars, Pre-Elite juniors will meet two-to-three times per week with certified coaches and may participate in regional camps.
USA Junior National Team curriculum and world-class instruction at Burningtree Country Club is an enticing combination for Alabama junior golfers seeking a structured pathway to reach their full potential in golf. USA Junior National Team members will receive customized technical, tactical, physical and mental training as they transition through the benchmarks of the USA Junior National Team curriculum.
