Castle Golf Yrs 7-13
Castle Golf - Ewell Castle School Golf Programme
Following on from the success of our Tennis and Cricket Academies, Ewell Castle School has added to the range of elite sports programmes. By rejuvenating existing golf activities, the School has created a new Golf Programme called Castle Golf in collaboration with Cuddington Golf Club.
The high-performance year-round term time programme, is for Senior School girls and boys in years 7 to 13 who have the required minimum golf handicap for their age and who are current members of a golf club and/or are considering a career in competitive professional golf. The programme is designed to allow them to combine golf training and an academic education within an integrated curriculum.
The Castle Golf Programme is run and taught by Paul Schunter, Director or Golf at Cuddington Golf Club and overseen by Neil Turk, Ewell Castle School Director of Sport. Golf training takes place at Cuddington Golf Club with specialist golf instructors. Members of the Golf Programme will take part in competitive golf fixtures against other independent schools, benefit from weekly professional golf coaching (individual and group) and receive additional co-curricular training and practice. Members of the programme will be taken to and from Cuddington Golf Club from Ewell Castle School and they will receive Ewell Castle School branded sports kit and equipment.

Membership of the Golf Programme is dependent upon passing a golf trial as well as maintaining a minimum playing standard, and there is a yearly membership fee to help cover the costs of the programme and the relevant kit.
