Full-time Prospectus | Sports Academies Golf Academy
In 2015/16, we formed an exciting new partnership with Saunton Golf Club and their team of PGA professional coaches. The first year of this partnership was very successful, with four players representing Petroc at the Regional Championships and gaining valuable experience.
Our Golf Academy students will be able to receive up to four hours of professional coaching per week and will work on all aspects of their game. They will also have the opportunity to attend weekly strength and conditioning sessions.
The Golf Academy students will have the opportunity to represent both the college and the South West at the AoC Regional and National Championships, and will also have the chance to play in some more local competitions through Saunton Golf Club.
Surf Academy
Lyndon Wake Surf School, based on the scenic Baggy Point at Croyde Bay, will be providing a comprehensive coaching programme with video analysis. Students will have the option of two or four hours of coaching per week from any of Lyndon’s high-profile, fully qualified instructors.
Academy members can expect to study and improve a wide array of skills such as: advanced manoeuvres, oceanography, heat tactics, safety, water training, surf specific fitness and flexibility, as well as college-based weekly strength and conditioning sessions.
To be eligible for the Academy-students are expected to be of an intermediate surfing level – owning their own equipment (be it long or shortboard) and being competent in surf up to the 4ft range and consistently taking off going left and right; You will also need to be able to get to Croyde for these sessions.
