About SCGA Junior Volunteers

Our volunteers are individuals who are excited about golf and want to see juniors grow in the game. They support our coaches during practices and at special events and work to develop an inclusive golf community on and beyond the course. They gain hands-on experience by working directly with our junior golfers, and create professional relationships with the staff.

 

ALL volunteers must be cleared through a background check and acknowledge our Child Safety Policies

Background check instructions can be found HERE

*Background check fees can be reimbursed*

 Volunteer Roles

Practice & Safety Volunteer

    • Practice volunteers assist with various golf and fitness stations under the supervision of the coach or instructor.  Other duties include chaperoning juniors for a break and maintaining a fun and positive atmosphere.

Game Day Volunteer

    • During these casual, on-course outings, juniors are paired with peers of the same age and skill level and volunteers walk with a group for the entirety of the round. Ensuring safety is their highest priority. They also enforce pace of play and educate on basic rules, while encouraging good sportsmanship and a positive attitude.

Assessment Volunteer

    • On-course assessments track the progress of juniors and test their skills, ranging from fundamental levels to a full round. Volunteers walk with a group for the entirety of the assessment and keep score. Their highest priority is ensuring a safe environment, and they also enforce pace of play and encourage good sportsmanship.

Special Events & Outings Volunteer

    • Volunteers ensure the safety of juniors at all times while promoting a fun, positive and rule-abiding atmosphere. Volunteers work with each other, coaches and instructors to ensure all juniors are checked in and accounted for, assist with set up and clean up and other on- and off-course assistance. Opportunities to volunteer include community events, LPGA*USGA Girls Golf events, field trips, tournaments, etc.

“It just makes me feel great that I can see the growth of the kids when I volunteer. There’s nothing else I’d rather be doing than being out here with the kids making sure things run smoothly, and they are safe while they are out enjoying the game.”

“To see kids excel, and to see how much they enjoy playing golf is great. To see the coaches sharing their talents and joys with the kids lets me know that we’re building community within the community. That’s the joy.”
