Coach: Ryan Robillard, 2023 PGA of Ontario Teacher of the Year

The Junior Performance Program is designed for competitive juniors who are ready to commit to their development and take their game to the next level. This program blends private coaching, team practices, performance testing, physical training, and tournament support into a year-long experience that builds complete players.

What’s New This Year 🚨

All indoor sessions will now take place at my own facility, Elevate Performance Golf, located right next to Apex Performance and Wellness at 4510 Rhodes Drive, Unit 930, Windsor, Ontario. Elevate Performance has 2 hitting bays and is equipped with TrackMan technology and video capture for each swing. This indoor space allows year-round training in a controlled environment. The additional space also allows for more team practices during the off-season, increasing from 5 to 10 team practices a year. This will provide players an opportunity to develop and learn in a collaborative and competitive setting. Additionally, the close proximity to the Elevate Performance and Wellness team will allow players to receive a comprehensive physical assessment and individualized plan. Additional coaching and support will be provided by assistant coach, Emily Ward, who is a former division 1 player at the University of Richmond. She will be assisting and leading team practices and helping to create a stronger team-based learning environment.
