Our support includes, but is not limited to: • Tournament and registration fees • Travel and lodging expenses • Player development, including specialized training, mental and physical coaching, equipment fitting, and equipment purchases • Mentorship program​

The IGA and TDTD have supported youth golfers from the greater Los Angeles area to the Inland Empire, for the past 15 years and currently serve over 100 youth clients.

 

Based on their 2023 Community Needs Assessment, SoCal Jr Golf Team enriches the lives of youth, families, and communities by: 

  • Addressing the primary concerns of our parents, youth golfers and community 

  • Removing barriers that prevent youth participation 

  • Providing resources that allow youth golfers to excel

Siham Ibrahim‘s Story
 

My love for the game came from my father, he was the one who got my family and I into the game at a very young age.

 

His idol was Tiger Woods and he’s the reason that I play today. From a young age, my dad taught me, and it was a fun way to spend time and get out of the house, not until I was 5 when I played my first tournament I really feel in love with the game.

 

The competitiveness with my brothers and sisters and also just spending time with my family really made me dream to be a LPGA tour player.
