The Team BC Squad Program is British Columbia Golf's high-performance development program for competitive junior golfers across the province.
Through a regional, coach-led training environment, the program gives developing athletes access to structured training, performance assessment and tracking, camps, education and competition support throughout the year, an elevated brand, and increased exposure across the golf ecosystem. It is designed to help athletes better understand their games, build the skills and habits required to compete at a higher level, and continue progressing within BC's player development pathway.
For athletes and families, the program provides something that can be difficult to build independently: a consistent development environment supported by qualified coaches, clear performance benchmarks, and connection to other competitive junior golfers.
The goal extends beyond tournament results. The Team BC Squad Program is intended to help athletes maximize their potential while developing strong competitors, teammates and people, with pathways toward college and university golf, elite amateur competition, national programs and, for some athletes, the professional game.
Looking Ahead to 2027
There is even more opportunity ahead for B.C.'s competitive junior golfers in 2027.
British Columbia Golf is expanding the Team BC Squad Program from five Regional Squads in 2026 to six in 2027, extending the program's reach and creating additional opportunities to identify and develop athletes from across the province.
