The Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy is the world's premier junior golf academy.
The best way for juniors to prepare for the junior golf competition is through having a organized and individualized development plan.
Through GGGA's consistent cycle of learning, preparing and performing, the Full-Time Junior Program prepares students for the rigors of junior, collegiate and professional golf. The Full-Time Junior Program is an all-day program for juniors golfers that integrates academics and golf training. During the week, students attend school in the mornings at Montverde Academy and spend their afternoons focusing on improving their golf game and fitness level. Depending on the student's schedule and progress, weekends can be spent competing in tournaments, putting in some extra practice, resting or enjoying one of the many attractions that Orlando offers.
Upon arrival, students are evaluated technically, mentally and physically to determine their strengths and weaknesses utilizing 3-D and 2-D swing analysis technology. Major emphasis is placed on adapting the program to each student's individual needs. The program's goal is to develop well-trained, confident, athletic competitors who excel in the competitive arena.
