Welcome to the Paul Weyland Golf Junior Academy page!

The junior academy is a year around golf and golf fitness training academy with programs designed for juniors who have a passion for golf and strive to play competitively.

Competitive golf is challenging and requires athletic skills.  Proper golf and fitness training are vital for developing an efficient swing that minimizes injury.  At PWG all junior programs are based on the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD) model which uses physical and mental activities that are appropriate to a junior’s biological age.  By using this advanced and innovative model your junior will develop the athletic and golf specific skills necessary to play competitive golf while building confidence and having fun!

To find out if your junior has what it takes, learn more about the LTAD model, learn the benefits of group training, and find out what to expect at the PWG junior academy go to the FAQ’s page.

 Paul Weyland is the only TPI Certified Level 3 junior coach in Idaho specially trained to coach juniors with the scientifically proven long term athletic development model.
