Junior Golf Windsor families need more than a one-size-fits-all clinic. Elevate is building a clearer pathway for junior golfers across Windsor and Essex County, creating appropriate opportunities for players as they grow, develop and become more committed to the game.
The goal is simple: create better starting points, clearer next steps and more opportunities to learn, train, compete and get on the golf course throughout the year.
Fall 2026 introduces four new programs within that pathway, while the Elevate Junior Performance Team continues to provide year-round development for committed competitive golfers. The pathway expands again for Winter 2026–27 with the addition of IGNITE and LAUNCH.

SPARK
