The Home High Performance Squad 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 Darren Spencer based at Devonport Golf Club, Bryce Gorham at Country Club Tasmania and Christian Rainey have been appointed as Home High Performance Squad Coaches for the North West, North and South.
The role of the Home High Performance Squad 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.
Home squad athletes will be invited to at least two high performance training camps where attendees will be able to access benchmark testing (Trackman & PuttLab), as well as the opportunity to be coached by some of the nation’s and industry’s leading PGA Professionals.
Each home squad athlete will also be provided approximately four training sessions per year with their home squad which may include technical advice, strength and conditioning, sports psychology, sport nutrition and physio. There will be additional opportunities for state representatives to have one on one coaching with their primary PGA professional, home squad or state team coach.
Home High Performance Squad training tees off in August.
