The Regional Development Program aims to provide greater opportunities for developing players to access resources generally only available within elite player programs. This program will provide a pathway for players from a variety of playing standards to potentially progress through to state team selection, national high performance squad membership and national team selection.
In addition we are able to announce that PGA members Zac Rollins based at Seabrook Golf Club, Bryce Gorham at Country Club Tasmania and Christian Rainey have been appointed as Regional Coaches for the North West, North and South.
The role of the Regional Coach will be to identify and invite players to join the regional development squads and set individual training programs, set performance goals and coordinate access to other coaching and development resources for squad members.
Each squad will be provided with approximately 18 training sessions per year which will cover technical advice, and may include strength and conditioning, sports psychology, sport nutrition and physio.
Regional Development Squad training tees off in early August.
