For over 20 years, our 5 Elements of Success philosophy has helped thousands of junior athletes understand how the relationship between their physical movement abilities and golf skills affect consistency and power. By tying how the body moves relative to golf swing mechanics, our coaches create the personalized long-term development program each athlete needs for sustained success.

We offer a holistic approach for success, many instructors talk about it, but few follow it.  It is one thing to talk about an approach for success, but it is another to live it.  We at GPC live it! Daily, there are no secrets to success, just a proven systematic approach, we believe, “if it can be measured, it can be improved, but only if there is accountability”.

GPA student-athletes travel with their classmates and instructors to a variety of events along the East Coast. Tours to note include AJGA, Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, New England Junior Tour, Northern Junior, Notah Begay III JGNC, and more.

We have many activities that the Student Life and Learning Advisors take the kids on from Mall trips, downtown Ridgefield, bowling, hiking and other outdoor activities they will also have full access to GPC until it closes. There is also a Recreational room on campus with TV, pingpong, basketball court, and we have a hiking trail around the campus. Local kids can also be signed out to head home on the weekends.

There is a Director of Student Life and Academics on campus 24/7. Student Life and Learning Advisors make rounds throughout the day until lights out on weekdays and weekends. There is 24/7 on site surveillance being closely monitored. We complement security with attendance taking, pick up and drop-off hand offs between all staff and SL&LA’s.

Our test prep program is designed to take approximately 15 weeks but is adaptable to students who have less (or more) time. Students primarily work through the official SAT material on the Khan Academy online platform. Khan Academy is an official partner of the College Board, which writes the SAT. Khan is the premier free online learning platform and they have the most robust and effective SAT practice resources available. We work one on one with students to address specific areas of need.

Our main objective is to help the students boost their SAT scores but we want this practice to enrich their whole education as well. We emphasize a deeper understanding of the test material. Reading passages should be read for meaning and purpose, and math problems should be approached from as fundamental a level as is appropriate.

We offer full-service support for every student at The Golf Performance Academy. We work closely with college coaches and students to find the right fit to ensure they are taking ownership of their recruitment process. With use of the Junior Golf Hub and our experienced team, we want to ensure that every student finds a college to call their own.
