We happily accept both boys and girls in the program.<\/p>\n Since its inception in 2000 we have built an internationally-recognized program by producing tournament winners on the local, state and national levels. More than 100\u00a0of our students have gone on to receive college scholarships with several already having graduated to playing at the professional level. Currently,\u00a012 of the top juniors in the state\u00a0train with us.<\/p>\n This program includes private lessons and runs from November through May with a break during the Summer\/Fall competitive season.<\/p>\n This is your unique opportunity to train where the pros train and train the way the pros train at the Mike Bender Golf Academy, the “Home of Champions.”<\/p>\n The program includes a 30-minute lessons with each participant’s preferred MBGA instructor. Lessons can be combined i.e. a one-hour lesson, but we recommend shorter, more frequent sessions with our instructors to maximize improvement.<\/p>\n Advanced training offered in weekly 90-minute sessions. See list below for the Monthly Training Topics Schedule.\u00a0<\/p>\n ShotByShot is a total game analysis program that accurately evaluates your golf game and does so in a unique way. The pros refer to their stats all of the time to evaluate how their games stack up compared to other players at their level. Shot By Shot\u2019s online program measures the strengths and weakness of your game and then compares them to your target handicap. This insightful analysis is very helpful in directing our focus and your practice time. Shot By Shot is the Performance Analysis Partner to Golf Digest.<\/p>\n This short game test is given to both analyze each player\u2019s short game condition and to help motivate them towards improvement. Through many years of research we know how players at every level should score on this test in order to perform well in tournaments. This test also helps our instructors prioritize each participant\u2019s short game practice.<\/p>\n The Mental Golf Profile provides information about each player\u2019s tendencies and recommends strategies for customized mental game improvements. Each golfer spends about 10 minutes answering the multiple-choice questionnaire. A 20-plus page report will be sent to the student and the instructor for review. Pre-Round preparation, mental tendencies when playing shots, course management, working with your instructors, and mental tendencies towards golf fitness will be highlighted. Your coach will sit down with you for a complete review of the results.<\/p>\n This session will include a detailed computer analysis on the state-of-the-art SAM Putt Lab that will detail the golfer’s putting stroke. The session will include a detailed plan for improvement. Each golfer will get a hard copy printout of the evaluation results.<\/p>\n A comprehensive golf fitness screening given by our staff physical therapist Scott Shepard. This information will allow the instructors to adapt our training methods to the student’s strength and flexibility levels.<\/p>\n Participants will receive a gapping session.\u00a0<\/p>\n This standardized test consists of 60 shots hit to selected distances. TrackMan scores each shot on a scale of 0-100 based on the students accuracy.<\/p>\n Participants will receive MBGA-logoed merchandise.<\/p>\n All participants will receive a 10% discount on all additional services at the Mike Bender Golf Academy while enrolled in the Junior Champions Program.

The well thought out and designed weekly practice agenda really helps the player understand what they are doing. There is a natural progression at all skill levels. The coaches are knowledgeable and focused on improvement with every student. They know how to engage every type of personality and most of all analyze each player and develop and individual plan for success. Ainsley, our daughter, has attended the academy for two years and loves every minute she spends there. We highly recommend that you too consider giving your child the best possible chance to enjoy and learn the game of golf at the Mike Bender Golf Academy.”<\/p>\n – Greg Mann, parent of Junior Champion\/Young Guns participant<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Mike Bender Golf Academy\u2019s Junior Champs\/Young Guns program offers an incredibly unique learning environment for motivated and talent junior golfers. The program provides an opportunity for passionate junior golfers to practice alongside each other during group sessions, while also enjoying one-on-one private instruction from one of the Academy\u2019s world-class instructors.<\/p>\n The instructors at the Mike Bender Golf Academy each have the ability to sequentially and strategically work with each individual junior golfer to elevate their game and get the most out of their individual talent. They have a wealth of experience in developing top junior golfers and have been recognized nationally for their success.<\/p>\n My son participated in the Junior Champs\/Young Guns program for the first time last year and his development was accelerated dramatically because of the time he spent participating within this program. If you are looking for a learning environment that maximizes your child\u2019s talents, and your son or daughter is passionate about the game of golf, and is willing to practice hard to achieve success you will not find a better place to accomplish this than the Academy\u2019s Junior Champs\/Young Guns program.<\/p>\n -Don Stewart<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Eden absolutely loves having you a teacher. \u00a0She has found a new passion for golf! \u00a0Thanks for everything!”<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22.3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Private Lessons \u2013 (24) 30-minute lessons Membership \u2013 20 academy practice passes Customized Team Trainings \u2013 20 MBGA Merchandise \u2013 Hat, Competitive Book, Shirt Short Game Test \u2013 2 TrackMan Combine \u2013 2 Mental Game \u2013 A Mental Profile Survey Clubfitting \u2013 gapping session SAM PuttLab Evaluation \u2013 Included Fitness \u2013 Fitness Evaluation by […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"yoast_head":"\nComprehensive Instruction for Competitive Juniors<\/h2>\n
