Junior League

Description:  Our bread-and-butter program, Junior League is intended to mix instruction with playing and build on attendance in prior junior golf programs and/or experiences.

The emphasis is on becoming comfortable around the game while working on short swings (putting and chipping); full-swings (woods and irons); etiquette/basic rules; and sportsmanship.  Friendly competition is also introduced at this level and prizes will be awarded for performance in addition to participation.

This program could be (weather permitting) as long as 15 sessions and ends with a Junior Awards Banquet on August 11^th.  At last years banquet we held a very successful/fun skills competition and awarded prizes accordingly.

We will be moving towards a cap and pin program which involves each participant receiving a cap beginning day one with the opportunity to earn golf pins for specific accomplishments.  Our mascot will be the Val Halla Viking. 

This program closely mirrors the successful U.S. Kids Green, Yellow, Red and Gold Tee Program.
