FCG NATIONAL ACADEMY
"Training Juniors for the Highest Level of Competition"


 


Welcome to FCG National Academy in San Diego, California. Our programs are completely flexible for our students offering you opportunities to train year-round. Most of our focused students take private lessons in 1 to 3 hr. increments and add in playing lessons throughout the season. The One-on One Attention at our Academy is a huge key to our students success. We focus on developing our players on all levels, not just swing. Our goal is to teach you how to play golf better, develop a system that works for you, help develop the best mindset for high-level competition, and help train you to work on your game with accelerated progress.

In addition to our Private Coaching Programs, we offer plenty of group programs as well including:

- 5-Day Schools (Summer)
- 3-Day Workshops (2 days of instruction, final day on the course
(Summer, Winter, Spring Break)
- 2 Hr Focused Training Programs (Year-Round)
- Collegiate Prep Programs (Winter and Summer)
- Fitness Classes (Year Round)
- Mental Game Work Shops (Year Round)
- Performance Institute Program (Year Round)
