Certification

In 2012, U.S. Kids Golf created the U.S. Kids Golf Coaches Institute, and since that time, the Coaches Institute has trained over 7,000 coaches worldwide. Representing more than 80 nations, this global community of coaches has learned best practices and provided resources to better serve young players as they develop a passion for golf.


U.S. Kids Golf’s Coach Certification program will be refreshed with new content and additional benefits for coaches. In order to focus on this effort, no seminars will be offered after May 21. More information on trainings and certification will be communicated towards the end of the summer.
