LTAD Junior Golf

Developmental Programs

Effective junior golf programs take a long term    approach to golf specific athletic development.

Long Term Athlete  Development (LTAD) describes the life-long  athlete  performance model originally coined by sports scientist Istvan Balyi in 1990.  He is acknowledged worldwide as an expert in LTAD and the periodization of training plans.  LTAD is a guide that helps develop golfers from pre-puberty to retirement.

FITGOLF Performance Center is proud to launch the Titleist Performance Institute’s (TPI) our own version of an LTAD program that will deliver superior results.   Our approach focuses on having kids perform age-appropriate drills to maximize athletic potential.  The program  gets progressively more complicated and more specialized as the athlete develops and reaches the next level.
