Coach's Members Lounge
welcome
Welcome to your Coaches Lounge
Everything you need to get your Bitesize Golf academy up and running.
You’ve joined Bitesize Golf.
Now it’s time to put the system to work.
Your Coaches Lounge brings together the curriculum, coaching resources, academy tools, marketing materials and support you need to build, deliver and grow your junior programme.
You don’t need to learn everything today.
Start with the launch plan below and take it one step at a time.

Congratulations, you're a Founder Member, you've locked your subscription and you're one of very few who have made a decision and what's more important, you've acted on that decision.
You've joined a system designed to make running junior golf easier, more professional and more rewarding.
There are a few things to do before you launch your first classes, but don't worry. You don't need to build everything yourself.
Your job is to decide how the system fits your coaching environment, your facility and the young golfers you want to help.

See how the ten levels and progression pathway fit together.

Important message
You're already great at coaching and this is NOT a coaching methodology.
This is a system to help you attract pupils, entertain and engage them, give them a complete and comprehensive golf education and retain them as they develop into some of the best players in your club, your area and your region.
This will reflect on your skills and abilities as a top developer of talent.
Your coaching toolkit
The resources are already built.
Open what you need and get back to coaching.
From planning a lesson to registering a new player, the practical materials behind your academy live here.
This is the coach's resource control centre.
Lesson pack
Lesson plans, challenge sheets, progress reports and session resources.
Open lesson pack →Administration pack
Registration, medical information, payments, dates, attendance and class organisation.
Open administration pack →Marketing pack
Posters, flyers, parent information and materials to promote your programme.
Open marketing pack →Coach guides
Guidance to help you understand, organise and deliver the Bitesize system.
Open coach guides →Quiz answers
Supporting answers and learning material across the progressive levels.
Open quiz answers →Ten levels. One continuous journey.
Every session has a place. Every level leads somewhere.
Bitesize Golf is not a folder of disconnected lessons.
It is a progressive development pathway from Red through to Gold, with learning, practice, challenges, recognition and progression built into each stage.
You remain the coach. Bitesize gives your coaching somewhere to live.
Turn the system into your academy
The curriculum is built. Now decide how you want to deliver it.
Your facility, market and coaching style are your own.
Bitesize gives you the structure without dictating how your business must operate.
Choose your format
Coaching blocks, junior clubs, academies, camps or a combination that works for you.
Choose your players
Decide the age range, experience, ability and ideal group size.
Choose the starting point
Assess each young golfer and place them at the right point in the pathway.
Plan the calendar
Set dates, coaching blocks, holidays, capacity and future progression.
HOW TO ORDER
Your classes are ready.
Here’s what happens next.
Order the books for your players, we’ll take care of the rest.
Once you have organised your classes and know which Bitesize level each young golfer is working on, the practical process is very simple.
Each pupil needs the appropriate Bitesize Golf book and certificate for their level.
You tell us what you need.
We raise the invoice.
Once payment is received, your materials are dispatched.
Then you coach.
As your players progress through the pathway, simply order the books and certificates for their next level and the journey continues.
Class → Books → Coach → Progress → Next level
Assemble your classes
Decide who is attending, organise your groups and establish the Bitesize level each young golfer will be working on.
Order the pupil packs
Tell us how many books you need at each level. Each pupil's level book is supplied with the corresponding certificate.
We send your invoice
Bitesize Golf confirms the order and sends the invoice directly to you for payment.
Pay and we dispatch
Once payment is received, your books and certificates are prepared and dispatched ready for your programme.
Coach, progress, repeat
Deliver your coaching. As players complete their level, order the next books and certificates and keep the journey moving.
Once your academy is running, the process simply repeats as each young golfer progresses through the Bitesize pathway.
1. Order books for each pupil
2. Receive invoice
3. Pay
4. Goods dispatched
Every session has a purpose
Use the Bitesize structure, then bring your own coaching experience to it.
The lesson plan is not there to replace the coach.
It gives each session a purpose, a shape and a connection to the player's longer journey.
Every young golfer should leave knowing:
What I learned.
What I enjoyed.
What I should practise next.
Get ready. Then tell people.
Before the first ball is hit, make sure both the programme and the promotion are ready.
Launching becomes much easier when the practical details are settled before the marketing starts.
Prepare the programme
Promote the academy
Build a model that works for you
Start simply, then develop the programme as demand grows.
There is no single correct way to run a Bitesize Golf academy.
Use the curriculum inside the commercial format that best suits your coaching business and facility.
Starter programme
Use a short coaching block to introduce new young golfers and families to the pathway.
Monthly junior club
Create regular coaching, belonging and continued progression throughout the year.
Annual academy
Bring multiple levels, groups, coaching blocks and events together into a complete academy.
Every young golfer should leave knowing:
What I learned.
What I enjoyed.
What I should practise next.
Examples are illustrative gross coaching revenue only and are not guarantees.
Facility costs, staffing, taxes and other expenses will vary.
The lesson ends. The journey continues.
Use the wider Bitesize Golf experience to help young golfers stay connected between coaching sessions.
A coaching session may last an hour.
Development happens throughout the week.
The app can help young golfers continue learning, practising and completing challenges away from the lesson, while parents gain a clearer understanding of the pathway.
That is also how the current App page positions the digital experience
Start simple. Grow into the app.
Get your first classes running.
Become comfortable with the Bitesize system.
Then introduce the app as part of the wider player journey.
Keep learning
Explore learning, practice and challenges connected to the pathway.
Understand the journey
See what their young golfer is learning and help encourage progress.
Guide the progression
Connect the coaching lesson to practice and longer-term development.
