NYC Golf & Sport connects with children socially, culturally, and academically to create a more adventurous way to get the ball into the hole. Each class has a theme that captures student’s imaginations. NYCGS instructs how to putt, chip, pitch, and full swing successfully. Stance, grip, aim, and posture are all presented in a child-friendly manner. Students advance into learning about the different kinds of golf clubs, the vocabulary of the game, rules, and scoring. Golf is heralded for its etiquette and sportsmanship and NYCGS honors that tradition in class. The most important thing is that your child associates the game with fun and that is NYCGS’s specialty. 

NYC Golf & Sport’s introductory sports program is perfect for our youngest athletes. Our goal: For your child to have an incredible experience every time they come to class and associate sports with FUN! In our classes, fun is essential in learning. Our students learn the skills of an individual sport in age-appropriate activities that you may not see in other youth sports companies. NYCGS students will build connections through teamwork, build habits in sportsmanship, and develop a life-long love of sports.
