For Independent Schools
Develop the golfer as well as the golf.
Core & Caddy gives pupils a structured physical pathway alongside technical golf coaching. It helps young golfers understand their bodies, build the qualities their game requires and develop habits that can support sport for life.
A more complete golf programme
Physical foundations beside technical coaching.
Technical coaching is essential, but pupils also need the physical foundations to express what they are learning. Core & Caddy adds assessment-led strength, movement and physical education without replacing the school’s coaching team.
Pupils
Benefits for pupils.
- Greater confidence in how they move, train and prepare.
- A personalised understanding of their physical strengths and priorities.
- Development of strength, control, mobility and athletic capability.
- A clear progression pathway rather than occasional fitness sessions.
- Improved physical literacy that transfers beyond golf.
- A positive long-term relationship with training, health and performance.
The school
Benefits for the school.
- A distinctive and evidence-informed addition to the golf programme.
- A structured pathway that can involve pupils, coaches, strength staff and parents.
- Visible progress through repeatable profiling and reassessment.
- A premium programme that demonstrates a serious commitment to pupil development.
- Clear professional boundaries and appropriate referral into existing clinical provision.
- A model that can begin as a focused pilot and grow with demand.
Teaching professionals
Benefits for teaching professionals.
Coaches receive useful physical context, not competing technical opinions. They can better understand whether a pupil is still developing the physical capacity required for a particular movement and continue to own the technical solution.
Parents
A pathway parents can understand.
Parents see more than a timetable of sessions. They see a clear rationale, an individual physical profile, defined priorities and evidence of progress. That clarity creates confidence in the programme and helps pupils take ownership of their development.
