Top Junior Instruction in the Los Angeles Area

Finally a junior golf academy that offers a complete training system to develop junior golfers both on and off the course. Golf teaches many valuable life lessons and that is why coaching young players should include improving all aspects of a junior golfer including:

• Golf Mechanics- fundamentals to advanced techniques
• Playing the Game- learning the shots, course management
• The Mental Skills- focus, confidence, discipline
• Physical Fitness- balance, posture, flexibility, strength, nutrition
• Character Development- honesty, respect, leadership

My mission is to:

“Create Junior Champions on and off the golf course”

This means each junior will:

• Lower his or her scores
• Enjoy playing
• Respect the rules and etiquette of the game
• Thrive under tournament pressure
• Play for his or her high school golf team
• Create long term friendships with other junior golfers
• Be provided with the opportunity to earn a college scholarship
• Develop leadership skills
• Deal with adversity

The Rick Sessinghaus Junior Golf Academy offers programs for all juniors no matter what their level of experience. I have taught hundreds of beginners and many nationally tournament winners.

Believe me, there is a program for every junior.
