Australian Secondary Schools Teams Championship

 

The Australian Secondary Schools Teams Championship has been played since 1989. It is open to all secondary schools in Australia (i.e. players in years 7 to 12). Each team consists of 3 players (boys, girls or mixed). Each State Association conducts a State Final, with the winning team from each State Final contesting the Australian Final (with all-expenses paid). The Australian Final is played over 36-holes Stableford, with the best two of the three scores to count each day.

Active After-School Communities Program

 

The Active After-school Communities (AASC) Program is a free Australian Government initiative that provides primary school children with access to sport after school (3.00pm – 5.30pm).

The program is run nationally through an Australia-wide network of regional coordinators who train community coaches and forge links between children and clubs.

The benefits to clubs include:
• Opportunity for clubs to link to primary schools
• Opportunity for clubs to apply for equipment grants
• Opportunity for coaches to gain payment

The MYGolf Active After-school Communities (AASC) Program has been specifically designed for the AASC program. It also includes components of the MYGolf National Skills Challenge but in a simple and modified form that integrates with the requirements of the ASSC program.

The program is designed for School Teachers, Development Officers, Community Coaches, Students and PGA Members to deliver golf at school (or a golf course) as part of the AASC Program.

Player Development Pathway

 

An extensive and successful talent identification and development pathway has been structured within Australian golf from Entry Level to Tour Professional.

Golf Australia, State Associations and Junior Foundations provide programs to assist golfers who wish to develop their game to the fullest potential. Many clubs also devote considerable resources to player development, and encourage individual golfers to play in open tournaments, inter-club competitions, State-level coaching camps, and State and National tournaments.
