At Warrior Golf Academy (WGA), our mission has always been bigger than the scorecard. While we are known nationally for serving Veterans and First Responders, we are equally committed to developing young golfers with elite skill, discipline, character, and respect for the game.
Our Junior Coaching and Caddying Program is built to do exactly that.
Today, we are proud to be working alongside some of the world’s top junior golfers, including South Florida’s own Brian Kelley, one of the most accomplished and exciting junior players competing today.

Why Coaching and Caddying Matter at the Junior Level
At Warrior Golf Academy, we believe great coaching extends onto the course.
Our Junior Coaching and Caddying Program allows players to experience:
-
Tournament preparation and strategic planning
-
Real-time decision-making support
-
Emotional control during competition
-
Course strategy adjustments based on conditions
Caddying is not about giving swings thoughts. It is about helping young golfers think clearly, stay composed, and trust their preparation.
This is where confidence is built.
Developing Future Golf Leaders, Not Just Competitors
Golf teaches lessons that extend far beyond competition. Through our Junior Program, players learn:
-
Accountability
-
Leadership
-
Discipline
-
Respect for rules and tradition
-
Sportsmanship
These qualities are foundational whether a junior golfer pursues competitive amateur golf, collegiate play, professional aspirations, or leadership roles within the golf industry.
A Unique Connection Between Juniors and Veterans
One of the most meaningful aspects of Warrior Golf Academy is the environment.
Our juniors train alongside:
-
Veterans
-
PGA Professionals
-
Coaches and mentors with real-world leadership experience
This exposure fosters maturity, gratitude, and perspective — lessons that cannot be taught on the range alone.
The Warrior Golf Academy Standard
Our Junior Coaching and Caddying Program reflects the same standards we apply across all WGA initiatives:
-
Intentional coaching
-
Structured development
-
Integrity and accountability
-
Long-term sustainability
We are not chasing quick results. We are building golfers and leaders for life.
Looking Ahead
As Warrior Golf Academy continues to grow nationally, our Junior Program will remain a cornerstone of our mission — developing young athletes who respect the game, compete with excellence, and represent golf the right way.
Working with elite juniors like Brian Kelley reinforces our commitment to setting a new standard for junior golf development in South Florida and beyond.
