FOR THE ONES WHO WANT TO COMPETE
COMPETITIVE Prep JUNIORS
You're competing in tournaments. You have the drive and the scorecard to prove it. But tournament golf demands more than a good swing — it takes strategy, course management, situational skills, and a game that's been built for competition. That's exactly what this program develops.

WHO THIS IS FOR
The player who's competing and ready to get serious.
You're already in tournaments. You know what it feels like to stand on the first tee with a scorecard in your hand. But you also know your game has gaps — shots you don't have, situations you haven't prepared for, strategies you're figuring out on the fly.
This program is built for that player. The one who's ready to stop guessing and start building a complete competitive game.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Built to develop complete competitive players.
Two types of coaching, working together every week. Group sessions build the on-course skills and strategies tournament golf demands. Private lessons build the individual swing. Neither works as well without the other.
Group Sessions
Weekly coaching in a tight pod of three players. One week on the course working on strategy, course management, and situational play. The next week in Purposeful Practice working on swing, short game, and skill development. Every week, you're building a more complete game.
Monthly Private
Your designated swing coach, one-on-one, every month. Same coach, every time — no reassignments. Choose one, two, or three 45-minute sessions per month depending on your tier. This is where your individual swing gets undivided attention.
Tournament Play
You're already competing — whether that's US Kids, WJGA, high school golf, or another individual format. Everything we work on in this program connects directly to how you perform when it counts. Your tournament schedule is the whole point.
GROUP SESSION SCHEDULE
Built around your competitive season.
Group coaching sessions run April 15 through October 15 outdoors, then pick back up indoors mid-November through March 1. Days and times shift each season to work around high school schedules, school calendars, and your tournament commitments.
Days
Sessions are held on Saturdays during spring — keeping weekdays clear for school and allowing for tournament play on occasion.
Format
Alternating on-course and Purposeful Practice weeks. Spring is a great time to lock in swing changes before the competitive season heats up.
Schedule Note
Days and exact times are confirmed at the start of each season. Spring timing is set to avoid high school golf season conflicts.
Sessions Included
On-course Purposeful Practice Private LessonsDays
Sessions move to weekday mornings or early afternoons — taking advantage of school being out and peak playing conditions.
Format
Same alternating weekly rotation. Summer is peak competition season — on-course weeks are especially valuable for dialing in tournament performance.
Schedule Note
Exact days and times communicated before summer begins. Morning and early afternoon slots are prioritized for cooler conditions and course availability.
Sessions Included
On-course Purposeful Practice Private LessonsDays
Back to Saturdays for fall — working around the high school season schedule and school-week commitments.
Format
Same alternating rotation through October 15. Fall sessions are a strong time to consolidate the season's learnings before heading indoors.
Schedule Note
Fall timing is structured to complement — not compete with — high school golf. Schedule confirmed before the fall season opens.
Sessions Included
On-course Purposeful Practice Private LessonsWhen
Indoor sessions run approximately November 15 through March 1. The start and end dates float slightly each year based on course conditions and simulator setup.
Format
All sessions move indoors to our simulator setup inside the restaurant. The alternating week structure continues — one week focused on swing and ball flight data, the next on short game, putting, and course management on the sim.
Why Winter Matters
Most competitive junior players in Spokane go dark in winter. You won't. Consistent reps through the offseason is one of the clearest separators between players who plateau and players who improve year over year.
Sessions Included
Indoor Simulator Swing & Data Work Private LessonsNovember
The golf course hasn't fully closed yet, so outdoor sessions may continue early in the month. Once the course closes, simulators go up — setup takes about a week. Indoor sessions typically begin around November 15th.
March
The course is opening back up and simulators are coming down. Everything is in flux. Outdoor sessions resume once the course is ready — typically after March 1st, depending on conditions and setup time.
What You Can Count On
Your private lessons continue as normal through both shoulder months regardless of group session availability. One-on-one coaching is never disrupted.
Private LessonsHow We Handle It
We communicate proactively. You'll always know what's happening before the week arrives — no surprises, no finding out day-of that a session is off.
MONTHLY PRIVATE INSTRUCTION
Your coach. Your swing. Every month.
Group sessions build your competitive instincts and on-course skills. Your private lessons build the individual swing underneath it all. One designated coach who knows exactly where your game is and where it needs to go — every month, year-round.
Private lessons run year-round, even through the shoulder season and winter months. Players schedule directly with their coach — one, two, or three sessions per month depending on your tier.
What to expect
45 minutes. Just you.
No sharing the lesson. No waiting. Your designated coach, focused entirely on your swing, your tendencies, your game.

Coach Tournament Weeks
Communicated in advance each time
No coaching of any kind takes place on these dates — that includes both group sessions and private lessons. These are full blackout dates for the program. When coaches are competing in tournaments, those weeks will be communicated well in advance so you can plan around them.
INVESTMENT
Simple, transparent pricing.
All three tiers include the same weekly group sessions. The only difference is how many private lessons per month you want.
WHAT WE EXPECT FROM PLAYERS
This program has standards.
We're putting real time, attention, and energy into every player in this program. We expect you to meet us with the same. A spot here is earned — and it's maintained.
If a player isn't meeting expectations, we'll have a direct conversation first. If things don't change, that spot will go to someone who's ready for it. That's not a threat — it's how we protect the environment for everyone in the program.
Code of conduct
Non-negotiable standards.
Participation in BB Golf Academy is conditional upon strict adherence to the following standards. These are enforced at the sole discretion of the coach.
Toward yourself, other players, coaches, and all staff at The Creek at Qualchan. Disrespectful language, tone, or behavior will not be tolerated.
Golf is a self-governed game. Miscounting strokes, improving lies, or misrepresenting actions violates Academy standards. Full stop.
Greatness is not given — it is earned through consistent effort, discipline, and commitment. Improvement is a long-term process. Lack of effort or repeated disengagement is unacceptable.
Actively support and encourage others. Negative, disruptive, or selfish behavior that harms the training environment will not be tolerated.
Bullying, harassment, intimidation, or exclusion of any kind is strictly prohibited. Any confirmed incident will result in immediate removal from the program without refund.
DRESS CODE
Look like a golfer.
Tournament golf has dress standards. Showing up looking like a competitor is part of the mindset we're building here. Players are expected to arrive to every session dressed appropriately for competitive golf.
Required
Not Permitted
The standard is intent — is the garment designed for golf? If a player arrives out of dress code, they'll be asked to correct it before the session begins. Repeated violations will be addressed as a conduct matter.
LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE
Three players. One SWING Coach. One Year.
This program stays small on purpose. When a group is full, it's full. If your player is competing and ready to take their game seriously, reach out. We want to talk.
COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQ
Everything parents ask before signing up.
-
Reach out to us through the contact form on this page. We'll set up a short call to learn more about your player — their game, their competition history, and what they're looking for. If it's a good fit on both sides, we'll talk about available spots and next steps. There's no formal audition, but we do want to make sure every player we bring in is ready for this level of commitment.
-
We build the pods. Groups are assembled based on skill level, age, and schedule compatibility. We don't allow players to self-select their groups — the goal is to create pods where everyone is challenged and no one is carrying the group. That said, if you have a specific concern about grouping, bring it up during your consultation and we'll talk through it.
-
Life happens — we get it. If a session is missed with advance notice, we'll do our best to communicate what was covered so your player isn't lost the following week. However, missed sessions are not made up individually and are not credited or refunded. Consistent attendance is an expectation of the program, and repeated unexcused absences will be addressed directly.
-
Yes. You can move up or down between tiers at any time. Just let us know before the 25th of the month — that's when billing is reviewed and adjusted. Billing runs automatically on the 1st, so any tier change requested after the 25th will take effect the following month.
-
No formal tryout. We rely on your tournament scoring history, a conversation with you and your player, and our own judgment. If you're actively competing and averaging 85 or better from your division tees, you likely qualify. The consultation call is where we figure out the rest.
-
On-course sessions are held at The Creek at Qualchan Golf Course in Spokane. It's our home course and the facility our program is built around.
-
Our indoor sessions take place inside the restaurant at The Creek at Qualchan using our simulator setup. We use the simulators for swing and ball flight work, short game, putting, and on-screen course play. Specific simulator hardware details are available on request.
-
If a coach leaves, we will reassign your player to another coach on our staff as quickly as possible and communicate that transition directly. We won't leave a player without a designated coach. We understand continuity matters — it's one of the core promises of this program — and we take that seriously.
-
This is a two-year commitment program. There is a program agreement that outlines the terms, including the commitment period and our policies around dismissal. We don't offer refunds for missed sessions or early cancellation outside of extenuating circumstances, which are handled on a case-by-case basis. If you have questions about the agreement before signing, ask during your consultation and we'll walk through it with you.
