Mission : It is our hope at Copper Hill Golf Academy that juniors will have the opportunity to truly experience golf and all of its rewards and lessons. We want every junior to be able to compete and yet have fun at the same time. Therefore, at an early age, there are elements of 'competition' to our programs. We believe that juniors need to understand the highs, lows, joys, and pitfalls that come with participating in a sport, in hopes that they might recognize the similarities between their success in the game and in their own lives. Otherwise, the youth are not participating in sports; they are merely keeping themselves occupied. Placing kids in different ability groups and running a variety of skills challenges are great methods that allow kids to gain confidence from their personal success. Carefully monitored, these efforts in our programming yield positive results and communicate some great lessons. Life is a series of wins and losses. We believe that there is true value in feeling the rush of a victory while excercising personal restraint, as well as the feeling of losing while excercising humility. - Paul Banks Programs: Copper Hill Golf Academy & Driving Range has been conducting junior golf programs at Copper Hill since 1979, and is an important part of what we do. Many of our students have gone on to play high school and college golf, others have gotten into the business of golf, many become active participants in the game later in life. Our instructors are either PGA members, PGA apprentices, or talented college players who have a passion for the game. In 2008, for the first time, our FULL DAY golf camps will enable participants to achieve 'team status' in the First Tee of Connecticut. To achieve this status, students will participate in skills testing and will be presented with the life skills portion of the First Tee program for which it is so well known. Team status, while optional, presents the student with the opportunity to train with the First Tee of Connecticut. This is an excellent opportunity for our junior golfers.
