Squash PCC wants to encourage more young people to try squash. Those who try it find it to be both fun and competitive. It is also excellent for fitness, easy to play and time efficient.

It is not required, but helpful, for you to have participated in the squash program this past season in order for the squash professionals to be able to place you in an appropriate group with similar players your age. Unlike the clinic season, squash camps will have a broader variety of playing levels and ages.

If you are new to the game of squash and/or have not participated in the squash program, you will need to be assessed by one of the professionals to be placed in the camps. It is highly recommended that a private lesson be taken to make the assessment and to help acclimate each Junior to the game of Squash.

The Professional Staff is also available for private and group lessons throughout the summer months.

Tennis Welcome to the 2025 Junior Tennis program! We are excited about this upcoming season and building upon last year’s incredible energy. Participation continues to grow, as our PCC Juniors raved about the Junior Tennis Camp and the format of afternoon team practices. With age specific tennis balls and special courts, Tennis has become a very social game and a blast for all ages and skill levels. It is a great family sport, ideal for social events and gatherings. We offer topnotch instruction to help improve your game.

Tennis promotes mental and physical health, as well as fun, regardless of skill level. We want every Junior to view Tennis as a great game to be enjoyed for a lifetime. Many sports are fun to play while growing up, but most of these are short term. By building a good Tennis foundation, you will be equipped to take your game to any level you desire for years to come. Our goal is to create a great environment for all Juniors to feel comfortable in and meet new friends.

Golf Philadelphia Country Club’s Junior Program Mission is to enrich the lives of our Junior Golfers through education, golf competition and development programs. We achieve this by providing a competitive, safe, and fun environment for all Junior Golfers. Through the game of golf, we can instill intrinsic values that include growth of character, sportsmanship, and integrity.

Core Values The game of golf instills core values that Philadelphia Country Club fosters. Our belief is that these core values help our Juniors grow into true champions: • Discipline - Evaluate situations and respond positively • Respect - For the game, your competitors, and your club • Integrity - Being honest and having strong moral principles • Social Skills - Developing the ability to interact with others • Conduct - Adopting good behaviors and attitudes for the game • Maturity - Experiencing success, failure, potential and limits • Balance - Achieving physical fitness and mental well-being Scott Reilly, PGA Head Golf Professional sreilly@philadelphiacc.net 610-525-6000 x275

Learning Objectives The 2025 PCC Junior Program allows juniors to progress through beginner, intermediate and advanced levels of development using objective criteria and a developmental mind set. PCC will use a 4-level tiered skill based system. Colored hats will be earned in order, starting at red, and progressing to black. Classes and supervised practice sessions will be categorized according to level, so that juniors of similar skill are assigned to the same class each week and session.

Registration Information Clinics & Events

Registrations for all clinics and events will be available on Whoosh.

PCC Golf Development Program Pathway

Early Start

Introduction to the Game (Ages 4-5) By engaging Junior Golfers through game-based learning, the Early Start Program is designed for Juniors to “learn in disguise” by having fun! This program is ideal for Juniors who are new to the game with all equipment and resources provided.

Level 1

Fundamentals (Ages 6-9) Developed for Junior Golfers who aspire to learn and grow a positive interest in the game of golf. Development sessions are built around exercises and activities that include fundamentals, coordination, balance, and functional movement. Opportunities to engage in junior club events include our Drive, Chip & Putt Series, Parent-Child Tournaments and more!

Level 2

Learn to Play (Ages 10-13) Developed for Junior Golfers with a Level 1 understanding of golf and established fundamentals of the game. Development sessions are based around exercises and activities that include swing mechanics, short game, putting, the rules of golf and more.

• Junior Early Start • Ages 4 - 5 years old

Making golf fun takes precedence over everything else for children 5 & under. At this age, fun for a four or five year old can be as simple as hitting the ball, playing miniature golf, playing games, using SNAG equipment and keeping golf classes to 30-minutes.

Most kids will not find it fun to adjust and readjust their golf swing or contemplate how to shoot their lowest score. The focus on competition and increased instruction will come later; encouragement, rewards, and positive reinforcement will go much farther toward keeping your child engaged in the game.

FUN Saturday Class Dates: May 10 1:00pm - 1:30pm June 7 1:00pm - 1:30pm July 19 1:00pm - 1:30pm September 13 1:00pm - 1:30pm Choose from the above dates for our Early Start Junior Program. We offer classes in May, June, July and September. Classes will include fun activities and games to keep your junior golfer engaged.
