Our PGA Junior League Advanced program is designed for young golfers 13 years and under who are ready to push beyond the basic fundamentals and recreational play of the regular PGA Junior League. At the Sarasota Junior Golf Academy Advanced team caters to players with higher skill levels and a desire to compete at a more serious level but still having fun with our friends in a team environment.

In our Advanced program, players experience a higher level of coaching, with an emphasis on more technical aspects of the game like course management, advanced shot-making and mental resilience. Weekly matches and practice sessions focus on refining their skills in challenging environments, with a greater focus on individual performance in a two person scramble and team strategy.

The structured competition in PGA Junior League Advanced also helps players learn how to handle pressure, make quick decisions on the course, and adapt to varying conditions—skills that are essential for success as they get older. Unlike the regular junior league, which is primarily about participation and enjoyment, the Advanced program is purpose-built for those who are serious about improving their game and testing themselves against tougher competition. Ultimately, it’s the ideal pathway for young golfers looking to elevate their game and prepare for the next level of competition.
