The development of junior golfers is heavily reliant on appropriate instruction and proper group assignment. It is essential for a junior golfer to be properly classified. This will ensure their placement in the proper group based on skill level. This allows our coaches to guide players through the phases of development using an objective criteria and developmental mind-set. Scott Robbins Golf has developed Eagles Performance Academy to achieve these goals. It is broken into three hats and 8 distinct levels. Each hat represents the skill level that the junior has achieved. Each child progresses through benchmark testing. These benchmarks determine the hat color and level the child earn.
