Formerly known as Club & Coach, the County Academy Programme aims to provide coaching to players above beginner level but below county squad level. Recruitment into the Academy is from schools and clubs, anyone aged 9-15years are welcome to attend our Assessment days.

In order to be able to deliver this coaching, the coaches themselves must be coached and a major part of the CAP is the upskilling of volunteers to PGA Level 1 and to provide CPD for our PGA Professionals.
