"...One of the best decisions my family and I ever made was to go to the Academy."     -Paula Creamer, 2008

At the crucial elementary age, young golfers need proper instruction and encouragement to not only develop their skill, but enhance their passion for the game. By combining coaches with extensive experience working with youth golfers and the on-campus, Pre-K -- 12 IMG Pendleton School, IMG Leadbetter can help elementary-aged golfers become better in the classroom and on the course in a safe, diverse and fun environment.

A periodization approach to the technical, physical, course management and mental elements of training enables the IMG Leadbetter Golf Academy to produce skilled, motivated, athletic golfers who thrive in the competitive arena. The IMG Leadbetter Golf Academy, hosting golfers from around the world, is the most unique training experience available.

At the elementary age, our instructors establish correct mechanics and encourage student-athletes to have fun while learning the game. The more advanced the golfer, the more intricate the lessons and drills become.

IMG Pendleton School

As students are learning the game on the course, they are also expanding their knowledge in the classroom. The on-campus IMG Pendleton School encourages creative thinking and diligence in the classroom in a convenient, safe and secure setting.

IMG Pendleton is fully accredited by SACS, FCIS, Florida Kindergarten Council and more. The school also offers English-learning programs for international students.
