Hi Pal
a few tips for working with junoir golfers.
1) Make sure the clubs they use are suitable. Heavy-full length clubs can seriously hamper the developement of a juniors swing...see your local pro for advice
2) Give them a grip that is suited to returning the clubface squarely back to the ball...The baseball style grip is ideal for youngsters
3)stress the importance of aiming at specific targets.
4) encourage them to work on there short game. the touch and feel that they develope now will stay with them forever
5) Remember kids tire easily so keep their practice sessions short. They will develope bad habbits easier if you allow them to practice when tired.
6) MAKE GOLF FUN let them compete and play half rounds when possible and seek out a good teaching pro to help with their developement.

Good luck
Aft
