Year-round.
We’ve developed a seasonal curriculum that focuses on play during the tournament seasons while concentrating on fitness and training in the off-season.
Flexible.
We know that the life of a Junior and Post Grad golfer is filled with more than just rounds of golf and buckets of balls, so we offer a variety of training program to fit you wants and needs. We offer daily, weekly, monthly, or full-time residential programs and can even offer an online coaching program if getting to Orlando is not possible. As a player, you choose the program and the frequency of training that fits your schedule and needs.
A team effort.
We bring the team concept to individual junior golf. We train together, go to tournaments together and learn together. But even more than that, the team concept includes family and coaches through the use of a collaborative online training space.
Technologically advanced.
In addition to the online component, we use Trackman ball tracking radar; 3D Technology using GOLF BIODYNAMICS; Pressure mapping using BodiTrack pressure matt; V-1 video analysis along with UP GAME, a shot tracking and performance measuring program along with some of the best training aids available to ensure we capture data, measure progress, and evaluate effectiveness. On top of all that, we know that we can help our golfers with more than just golf by ensuring they make the most if improving in their most formative years. We can assist in the recruiting process, golf resumes, college connections, tournament results and helping our students land at a college where they feel they belong and are happy to be there. When it comes to golf at the next level, we know that exposure in all of these aspects are necessary to make the difference.
Gregor Tilch, Director of Instruction at Rio Golf Academy on the High-Performance Junior Golf Training Program:
“This program is for those parents who want to take the next step in their Junior or Post Grad athletes future. I truly believe that we have developed the best full-spectrum curriculum for junior golfers that has ever been seen. I have spent more than 20 years as a golf instructor to PGA/LPGA Tour players, National Golf Teams and some of the best amateur, college, junior players in the game. In that time, I have noticed important steps that are often missed in the training process. Steps that are necessary and must be planned for, measured, and executed. Rio Golf Academy’s High-Performance program for Junior’s and Post Grad students, not only addresses every concern but gives golfers an advantage well into the future.”
