National Golf in Schools Program

Helping Kids Get On CourseNational Golf In Schools
Adopt a School:
Golf is the number one participation sport in Canada, is played by of all ages, yet l% of children in elementary schools get the opportunity to play.  You can be a part of making a difference by participating in the “Adopt a School” initiative.  Sponsor a school of your choice and bring golf to children in your area. The children can learn to play the sport in school and are potentially the members of the future.
The National Golf in Schools program (NGIS) includes a “best in class” learning resource as well as child friendly golf specific equipment.  The package comes at a cost of $475 inclusive of shipping.  With tightening education budgets, it is a reality that not all schools will be able to afford this program within their budgets.  We are offering the ‘adopt a school’ initiative to encourage individuals, groups of individuals, member golf clubs, or businesses to support the program by funding the cost of the NGIS program package for a school.

The National Golf in Schools Program will:

  • Provide the necessary resources (equipment, curriculum and training) that enable Canadian teachers to integrate golf into their ongoing elementary teaching.
  • Present golf to Canada’s youth (elementary school children) as a lifelong recreation and physical fitness activity.
  • Create links between the education communities and golf communities so that students have a greater understanding of where they can get greater access to regular youth golf programs on an ongoing basis.
  • Introducing them to golf, a sport they can enjoy for life
  • Providing the avenue to continue their participation within golf outside of school

In addition to the base program, the Alberta Golf Association plays a key role in enhancing the program by offering a variety of National Golf in School “activations” such as sending golf pros to the schools, conducting teacher orientations and organizing field trips to local golf facilities.
